JOHOR BAHRU: More than RM3 billion worth of outstanding summonses have not been settled in Johor involving more than 10 million summons issued over the past 20 years.
Johor traffic enforcement and investigations department deputy chief Khairul Azhar Ismail said the value of the arrears from 2000 to Nov 30 this year included POL 170A summons for offences related to speeding, traffic obstruction and ignoring traffic signs.
He said road users were also charged with POL 257 for offences of not having a driving licence, using expired motor vehicle licence, modifying a vehicle and using a telephone while driving.
He said other summonses which involved Singapore-registered vehicles that had not been settled for the same period came to 193,583 summonses worth over RM58 million.
On the 80% traffic summons compound discount which started yesterday, Khairul Azhar said so far more than RM1.6 million had been settled involving 35,027 summonses for various traffic offences.
“From early December until yesterday, the total compound collection was recorded at more than RM4 million. I hope the public will take advantage of the 80% discount until Dec 12,” he told reporters at the Johor police contingent headquarters (IPK) here today.
Khairul Azhar said for the same period, the Johor Bahru Selatan (JBS) district recorded the highest collection of RM730,960, followed by the Batu Pahat district (RM539,380) and the Muar district (RM469,500).
He said a total of 14 traffic branches throughout the state were opened as early as 8.30am until 5pm to offer the 80% discount from yesterday to Dec 12, while a 50% discount would be offered from Dec 13 to 15. - FMT
