Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has collected RM2.84 million in traffic compound fines from 130,927 compound notices as of last Sunday, with a special discounted rate offered for payment since December 1 last year, according to a Bernama report.
There have been 3.2 million outstanding compound notices last year, and the public was advised to take advantage of the special discounted rate, DBKL said in a statement. “The failure to pay the compound will result in court action and warrant of arrest for the purpose of blacklisting the offenders,” it said.
Additionally, a total of 4,459 offenders have been blacklisted by the Road Transport Department (JPJ). A special traffic compound rate of RM10 from December 1 last year until February 28 is being offered by DBKL.
For unpaid traffic compounds from 2007 till 2011, the charge is only RM10 per compound, while offences committed from 2012 till 2014, offenders will be charged RM20 per compound; offences from 2015 onwards incur a compound of RM30, according to the report.
Last month, it was reported that the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) sought the assistance of JPJ to blacklist 1,400 motorists for failing to settle their outstanding traffic compounds.

come on DBKL …you can do it!!hehehe…
Hopefully those traffic offenders will pay now because the amount is so under market value…
This works out to RM22 per saman. No wonder people break the law. The saman is so cheap. Same like having lunch. Buy lunch also about RM20
This is how stupid DBKL is. So cheap nothing to deter people from doing the offence even more
Finally enforcement doing their job.
does not look like it. DBKL enforcement officers are over few thousand.
And yet only can collect RM2.84 million? Their gaji alone is few hundred million per annum
In less than 3 months, DBKL managed 2 collect 2.84 million from 130,927 compound notices that work out 2 approximately 22 ringgit per summon. If NO discount, probably no collection.
So the moral of this story is – Do NOT pay summons by DBKL, MPSJ or MPPJ as these councils have NO power 2 take U 2 court or blacklist unless with the help of JPJ. I get it. Thanks Mick Chan. Great info for readers of PT.
Better tow car to the crusher, oh wait, nanti Choco BAR comes interfere…
Is this an issue about summonses, offenders, lack of parking space or exorbitant parking fees or as I assume ALL. Summons, though necessary at times, is not the ONLY issue here, there will always be more summons issued and compounds collected because of population, and vehicle increases.
While paying these DBKL summons, the counter girl told me there was someone who paid up 400 (!!!) summons. “Sakit jari type saman tu”. Her own boss himself had 100 saman, now only pay up. LOL. Yes, do pay up now as they’re serious about blacklisting after this “promotion”.
since now collected so much money, can DBKL start repairing the potholes?
Fatt lo
