KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 16 (Bernama) -- With the Road Transport Department’s (RTD) 50 per cent summons discount ending on Dec 30, nearly 4.9 million summonses worth RM1.4 billion remain unpaid.
RTD director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said that since the campaign began on Nov 1, only about 520,000 summonses valued at RM70 million have been settled.
“Most of the outstanding summonses involve active offenders and some have been unpaid for over 10 years,” he told reporters during Operation Luxury 4.0 at the Kuala Lumpur RTD Seizure Depot today.
He warned that from Jan 1, the discount will no longer be available and payment rates will revert to the original amounts. The scheme represents the government’s final opportunity for offenders before introducing a time-based payment system.
“Unsettled summonses may face stricter enforcement in the future. I urge the public to settle their summonses before Dec 30,” he said.
Also present were senior RTD enforcement director Datuk Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan and Kuala Lumpur RTD director Hamidi Adam.
