KUALA LUMPUR: Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) revealed that almost four million traffic summonses it issued – including arrears of notices dating back to 2016 – are still unpaid.
Of the total, only 104,646 summonses – involving about RM3.2 million – were settled since DBKL offered a discount to traffic offenders beginning Sept 1 this year.
“To avoid getting hauled up to court and blacklisted by the Road Transport Department (JPJ), offenders are advised to pay up their compounds before Sept 30,” DBKL Corporate Planning Department director Khairul Azmir Ahmad said yesterday.
He said the process of court action and blacklisting would come into effect immediately after the offer period ends this month.
DBKL had earlier offered a special compound rate of as low as RM20 to traffic offenders to pay up their compounds on meter parking and other traffic offences.
The special compound of RM20 is eligible to motorcyclists; RM30 is charged for owners of cars, multi-purpose vehicles (MPV), vans, small lorries, pickups, 4WDs and SUVs; and RM50 is applicable to operators of heavy vehicles such as lorries, buses, cranes, tractors and trailers.
However, the special rates do not apply to offenders who have been blacklisted and undergoing court cases, court mention or have warrants of arrest issued, Khairul Azmir added.
Summons payment can be settled at several locations, including DBKL kiosks, post offices, via the DBKL mobile application and www.myeg.com or e-bayar.
