Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has announced that it will be offering discounted traffic compound rates as part of its two week-long Settle DBKL Arrears campaign, which begins on August 6, Bernama reports.
From then until August 20, traffic offenders with compound arrears will only need to pay RM20 for motorcycles, RM30 for cars (as well as MPVs, pick-ups, SUVs, vans and small lorries) and RM100 for heavy vehicles to settle outstanding fines, KL mayor Datuk Seri Mohd Amin Nordin Abdul Aziz said.
“The special rates are to give traffic offenders a chance to settle their outstanding compounds. Last year, there were 1.2 million outstanding compounds valued at RM1.4 million owed by traffic offenders, and DBKL hopes the special rates will ease the process of settling their debts,” he explained.
He said payment can be made at 32 locations throughout the federal capital, adding that city folk will also be able to pay their assessment, public housing rent and market stall rent at these special counters.
In January, the council announced a similar campaign for the entire month of February in conjunction with Federal Territory Day, with discounts for vehicle offences that were originally rated from RM100 to RM300 being slashed to a flat rate of RM50 and RM30, depending on the original fine.

Shows that the government is concerned to road users and desperately needs to collect some cash back from us too

Defeats the whole purpose of saman. It is to deter people. Now Malaysians in KL do this, they kumpul one big stack and they go in and nego even further saman.
There are people, saman up to RM10,000 also, about thousand saman, the DBKL pondans will agree to nego it down to RM1000
So, what is the whole purpose of saman in the first place? It should be a deterrent. hundreds of people, especially big shots, just kumpul saman and every year, got amnesty, and they go in and nego up to 90% off.
This encourages traffic jams cause these people don’t care, just park anywhere and block everybody. Everybody loses.
Pakcik, you perlu ubat kah?
lol who actually pays these banana fines
There, thats da problem right there…
If gip diskaun, bash them for lack enforcement, no bolas, kopi, korup, BNGov xde duit, ini semua salah BNGov.
If dun gip diskaun, bash them for too strict enforcement, heartless, cruel diktator, rakyat have no choice, ini semua salah BNGov.
Like this Party Hard winliaolor!
Actually if u go merayu at DBK, it will diskaun to rm30 anytime of the day. Just dun wait too long to pay.
The discount already started. I paid yesterday. Directly go to payment counter at dbkl hq.
Hi is it applicable to PDRM saman too?
In singapore, you don pay! Next time paid double. Lagi tak pay! Lokap lah !! Hehe! Scary ..
The way they do this is like legalizing illegal parking.
They issue fines. Motorists wait until hefty discount is offered, then only they pay up.
I just don’t understand the purpose of issuing fines if it doesn’t serve the purpose of educating errant motorists.
Stupid dbkl give discount. Follow singapore please to educate people not the other way around… haihhhhh…. why they cannot think and follow intelligent people thinking…
If DBKl don’t give discount and double the pay if you takes you time to pay your fine, you sure want to pay? Give discount complaint, don’t give complaint. The not so intelligent people is the one who got fined. Do wrong, did not want to pay fine. Punish with double fine they got angry, give discount also make a noise. My pipu oh My pipu.
Please correct me if it’s just another one of my stupid imagination. I’m thinking by being too strict like our neighbors, then there will be no money for DBKL to collect as people will obey the rules(which is suppose to be the main objective!). So what they need is to balance it so there is a source of constant income. When things gets desperate, then offer discounts. What has our country become with type of mentality. So sad.
collection department failed. covered by discount giveaway. end of the year kpi achieved. next year get bonus.
If no pay can kena blacklist kah?
