Section 29

Every road transport officer making an investigation under this Act shall have the power to require information, whether orally or in writing, from any person supposed to be acquainted with the facts and circumstances of the case under investigation.

Any person who, on being required by a road transport officer to give information under this section, refuses to comply with such request or furnishes as true any information which he knows or has reason to believe to be false, commits an offence and shall on conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding five thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or to both.

When any information provided to a road transport officer is proved to be untrue or incorrect in whole or in part, it shall be no defence to allege that the information or any part of the information was misinterpreted, or furnished inadvertently or without criminal or fraudulent intent.
