Section 23

Where a licence has been granted in respect of a motor vehicle to be used for a certain purpose, and such motor vehicle is at any time during the period for which the licence is in force used for another purpose, the person so using such motor vehicle or causing or permitting the use thereof shall be guilty of an offence and shall on conviction be liable to a fine of not less than one thousand ringgit and not more than ten thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to both.

Any court before which the holder of a motor vehicle licence or a motor trade licence issued under this Part has been convicted of an offence under this Part may suspend such licence for the period of its validity or for any lesser period and such licence, together with, in the case of a motor trade licence, the plates issued in relation thereto, shall be delivered to the court by the holder, and the court shall send such licence and motor trade plates, if any, to the Director who issued such licence, with a copy of the order made by the court.

No rebate shall be paid by a Director in respect of any period for which a motor vehicle licence or a motor trade licence has been so suspended.

No court shall take cognizance of any proceedings under this section unless such proceedings be commenced within a period of twelve months from the date of the commission of the offence.
