OK, listen up people. The best news I have heard since the fuel price hike and the subsequent road tax rebate! (I haven't got my rebate!)
The Malaysian Government announced Monday that effective tomorrow (July 1), compound fines for traffic summonses, except for those for serious offences, would be halved!
Federal police traffic chief SAC II Datuk Hamza Taib said the move was to ease the burden on the lower-income group after the recent price rise in petroleum and food items.
The 50% discount is applicable for those who receive the summons letters on the spot and pay them before or on the last day of the 30-day deadline.
"Offenders who have yet to pay their summons and have not received letters summoning them to court are eligible for a 30% discount. Those who have received the court summons are not eligible for any discount," he told reporters at the Traffic Police Headquarters, Bukit Aman.
Traffic offenders receiving their summons via the post are eligible for a 30% discount regardless of when it was issued.
He said the discount offer was ongoing and no deadline had been set.
Asked if the discounts would encourage motorists to flout traffic laws, he said police were confident the kind gesture would spur them to learn from their mistakes and not repeat them.
"Even before this, the rich might not think much of paying a RM300 fine. Our focus is to try and ease the burden on the lower and middle class group," he said.
He said those issued summonses during Ops Sikap, for beating the red light, for accidents as well as those issued arrest warrant summonses were not eligible for a discount.
The public can pay their summons via the Internet at www.myeg.com.my and www.relik.com.my via credit card or debit card. Portal users are urged to print a receipt of payment and keep it for future reference.
Cash payment is accepted at all police headquarters and district police stations and counters at selected shopping malls.
Thank God! In this age of rising cost of living and travel, discounts and rebates are most welcomed. And tomorrow, July 1, is therefore certainly a day to be remembered.First, the discount on traffic summonses. Second, I will be eligible for the road tax rebate, finally!
