KOTA BHARU, Jan 1 (Bernama) -- The Kelantan Road Transport Department (JPJ) collected RM9.02 million in compound fines from January to November last year following the implementation of various enforcement operations statewide.
Its director, Mohd Misuari Abdullah, said the total collection of RM9,022,105 marked an increase of RM520,785, or 5.55 per cent, compared with RM8.50 million recorded during the same period in 2024.
He said the increase was partly driven by a 50 per cent compound reduction initiative, as well as the introduction of the government’s Budi MADANI RON95 programme.
“Throughout 2025, the Kelantan JPJ carried out various enforcement operations, including Ops Pemandu Warga Asing (PEWA), Ops RoadToo/Tunggak, special operations for Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Hari Raya Aidiladha, Ops Lejang, Ops Bus Seatbelt Enforcement, Ops Speed Limitation Device (SLD), Ops Overloading, Ops Eastern Zone Cross-Border, and Ops Luxury Vehicles,” he said in a statement today.
As a result of these operations, 200,076 vehicles were inspected, with action taken against 58,541 vehicles.
Mohd Misuari said that, during the same period, Kelantan JPJ has issued 116,183 notices for various offences, comprising 94,447 summons notices, 5,675 inspection notices, 2,801 investigation interview notices, 671 notices requiring driver details under Section 115, and 12,589 notices for other offences.
In addition, 491 vehicles were seized for various violations.
He said 32,455 cases were brought to court in 2025. Of these, 32,423 cases involved offences under the Road Transport Act 1987, generating RM2.44 million in revenue, while 32 cases under the Land Public Transport Act (APAD) 2010 recorded collections of RM56,500.
He noted that the number of vehicles taken action against last year declined slightly by 331 vehicles, or 0.56 per cent, compared with 2024, but stressed that road user awareness and compliance must continue to be strengthened.
“Enforcement is not solely about punishment, but aims to educate and raise awareness among road users for the safety of all,” he said, adding that the approach aligns with JPJ’s target to reduce road fatalities by 50 per cent by 2030.
