The Johor Baru City Council (MBJB) has announced that it will be offering a discount of 80% for all types of compounds. The move commences on the October 1, and will carry on until the end of the year (2015).
The discount applies to all compound notices that have yet to be settled, which the MBJB mayor, A. Rahim Nin, says there are around 2.3 million of, between 2011 and 2015. At full price, the total sum of unpaid compounds the MBJB stand to collect amounts to RM88.3 million.
The goal is of course to start 2016 on a fresh note, by giving the people a chance to settle off any unpaid compounds that may include traffic offences, any premise renovation offences, and/or any compound notices that may have been issued during any special operations.
MBJB’s mayor said, “We hope that through this incentive, the public will start paying their outstanding compound notices to prevent further enforcement action taken against them.”
Should the public not pay up, major A. Rahim warned that legal action would be taken against those who have failed to settle their compounds within the standard three-month period.
The 80% discount is by far one of the largest discounts issued by the council, surpassing that issued for early payment, or by paying at a mobile counter.
“According to current rules and regulations, a discount of 60% is given to those who manage to settle it within two weeks from the compound date, while those who make payment at mobile counters get 50% off for any type of compound, except those received during enforcement operations.”
Better hurry along and pay those summons, folks. Don’t forget though, this one’s just for our friends in JB.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Singaporeans must be grinning right now.
Until the last sentence. “This one’s just for our friends in JB. I see what you did there Paultan. Good job.
Mudah lupa. that is the key word. Mahathir said about this muda lupa attitude. That is why, even child rapist also can be in UMNO Supreme council. Because all mistakes can be forgiven and mudah lupa
few years back MBJB collect compounds over rm 1mil from Singaporeans.. I wonder how much this year
With this kind of crap the public will ever learn from their mistakes.
You mean you are good driver ?
As usual, the authorities are sending out the wrong message. If you had paid promptly, you are a fool so you should always wait for discounts
There is the problem…
this is why people do offence all the time. they know every year got this amnesty and it encourages offences to be commited.
Infact, people collect up to thousands of ringgit and when they go in, they even nego up to 90% discount.
Real bodo MBPJ
The discount should apply nation wide…
Just seize their car and auction to Malaysian!
They know that they can’t do anything at all if the motorist don’t pay. But be careful, if your vehicle get towed for illegal parking, they’ll ask u to settle all summons before releasing the vehicle.
