Vehicles from Singapore with outstanding summonses should not be allowed to leave Malaysia until the owners settle the amount owed. This is a proposal made by senator Datuk Rabiah Ali, who added that such a move will help prevent some Singaporean motorists from using the country’s highways to test their vehicles’ top speed capabilities.
“The problem pertaining to the illegal racing and reckless driving by luxury car drivers and high-powered motorcycles from Singapore has been a tough challenge for us to solve,” said Rabiah, according to a report by Bernama.
“The North-South Expressway (PLUS) from Johor Bahru to Melaka has become the test circuit for their luxury vehicles almost every week,” she continued.
Under her proposal, those caught would be imposed with the maximum fine amount. They will also be prohibited from leaving the Johor Bahru Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex (CIQ) until they settled all their summonses.
Sounds like a rather extreme move, but is this something that should be enforced? What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments below.

Saman kaw2 untuk singaporean. Duit saman singaporean boleh guna untuk bina mrt johor ataupun hsr
should have done it since BN 61 years gone
Singapore did this exact thing to all Malaysians 20 years ago. Just that previous Government had no balls to do the same in return.
So we got about billions in unpaid bills from Singapore cars flouting the law in Malaysia
Pity the previous Malaysian Government. All had no balls to do what Singapore did to Malaysian cars breaking the law in Singapore
Malaysian should just ‘hog’ the fast lane at 110kph.
No brains rather than balls.
Singapore did this exact thing to all Malaysians. Just that previous Government had no brains to do the same in return.
your system not talking each other.
should have done it since after merdeka
Before they caused an accident and kill someone. Better repossess their luxury or high speed vehicle and ask them walk back to singapore
Good Move, likewise unlike Malaysia demerit point, repeater offence for foreign car/motorbike should have a scale of fines, rm300, 2nd – rm600 etc etc – 4th bar from entering. the question is how efficient are the saman, say capture by camera today, how soon before its download into Johor Kastam screen !
I recalled years back was stop at singapore checkpoint as kena summon, no paid, no go back into malaysia.
Yup Good Move, better late than never.
Kipidapp kak Rabiah..
This has been on going for so long and still nothing can be done ? Then how can we have confidence in everything else that you guys wann implement in the future ? Just freaking enforce the laws la, all these while the laws already there. Shit continues because enforcement is loose, if I were the Tourists who speed here I also won’t give two shits about the law lo. So much law but no enforcement, pointless.
Good…!!! Spanar some of their moolah for govt coffers…!
No need to pay please… pass a motion in parlimen to just confiscate the vehicle.
Come on la, this not extreme ok, singapore already did that to all malaysia car. Even a normal parking summon your car cannot leave singapore, comfirm kena at check point.
As with many tourist attraction in Malaysia, local and foreign “enjoy” different tariff.
I suggest we amend the law to penalise all foreigners with traffic offends of RM1500 on first offend, second offend go to maximum of RM3000. Late payment penalty of 50%.
It’s about time they do this. Singaporeans head are getting bigger and bigger already. Even an Altis with SG plate driving at least 160kph zigzag-ing on highways are a common sight here.
yes! please use S$ to saman them. a good income for the nation. ingat dia orang boleh showoff at malaysia. per! balik singapore la. hahahaha
Singaporean drivers don’t give a shite about our laws. They have this attitude that they’re the most superior in SEA. See how they speed & drive recklessly on our NS Expressway, macam bapak dia punya.
They know our enforcement is lax & even if caught, the Sing Dollar is mighty. Funny thing is, they dare don’t do the same back in Singapore. Behave like an angel in Singapore but become devil once cross the border. Same shitty attitude when they drive into Thailand.
Just do it.
More money coming in now. G will have more money for new project and solved our debt.
No such tiering bullshit, as it is LUXURY VEHICLES.
Enforce a fine for foreign luxury vehicles, of RM 10k per photo evidence and immediately get updated in the system at all Customs / Immigration systems for immediate enforcement.
If you come into our “house”, then you need to obey the house rules.
Simple & straight forward.
If no money to pay, sit in jail. That way, those offenders will definitely pay up on the spot, cash or credit card..!!
but.. but… how you going to tell custom the vehicle got summoned? your system not talking each other. whatapps? instagram?
They will station JPJ officers at the checkpoint lah…. got extra boost from the 400++ odd SPAD officers transferred to JPJ next year.
if the summoned from perak?
Good, but not only Sporean, Thais also must get this pay before you exit rule. You see, many of those HiAce tourist vans and trucks were driven recklessly. Cutting Q, double line overtaking and even red-light beating, all are done like this is their own private land.
in 2004 i also had same experience at SG Custom, need to fully settle summon(SGD70) then only can leave SG… its normal practise years ago…. MY should have the same decades ago….. DO IT!
Should have been done a long time ago..better yet multiple the summons 10 times if they haven’t paid by the time they get to CIQ. If they don’t pay up, don’t let them go through and if still not paid in 24 hours, confiscate their damn vehicles
Good Move minister…please do it at the soonest and enforce the law..thank you
yeaaaa rightttt..rules esp. on legal speed never being enforce..what u talking about??
local n foreigners all the same..
Good…proceed its..i totally agree..kasi summon kaw² for singapore an make msia look like a toys..their no respect our country, our rules..look at JB what happen now a day..
This should have been implemented and enforced long time ago.
Charge sgd 300, first offence, sgd 1000 for each offence after
Talk tough: 10
Enforcement execution: 0
Welcome to Malaysia. We have lots of law and order but when it come to enforcement no officer to be seen when crime really happen.
In Europe if you caught speeding on public road you need to settle the fine on the spot immediately or they confiscate your vehicle and and ban you for 1 year of driving.
Oh please…! Sg have been doing it since for so long… stopping vehicles from exiting Sg and make drivers pay up before being freed to leave. Implementation is the contention.
This is not much of a govt problem… its an inter agency problem… between Imigration and PDRM. They need to work together and man all booths… but can PDRM spare the manpower and does PDRM have the system up to date and mobile enough to operate at the exit…? If so there will always a system crash and what not. That’s the main problem.
I have to agreed on this part. Because all those singaporeans obey their laws in their own country
When they arrive in JB. Start to act tough and big by driving recklessly and yes much more worse. They do not obey the rules like none at all because the fines are cheap and they always treat the citizens or even government like their pawns
So long as there are highways, the fantasy to test both highways and how powerful their cars are there in everyone. This fantasy is innate in everyone of us except some can see the thin line that separates fantasy with reality. So why pick on the Singaporeans with powerful machines, what about crazy rich or just adrenaline junkies Malaysians or even foreigners residing here?
Yes, l totally agreed, that summonses should be settled at the customs before they are allowed to drive back to Singapore. This process need to be enforced effectively with the collaboration between the Malaysian police with the customs or even with greater cooperation with the Singapore road transport department fostering greater awareness of road safety saving lives.
The key point here is towards greater cooperation between neighbouring countries towards a safer driving culture.
Just talk and talk and got law but never implement the law…
Totally agreed.if they refuse to pay their summons,then the authority should detain their vehicle until they pay up. At least this ruling will help them understand that there are heavy consequences if you use our roads to test your vehicles top speed. They will never do it in their own country…why? Their laws are even more stringent
Yes! That is the positive action.AGREE
Fully support.
better ban these weekend drivers from coming here
Yes…so it AsAp. Let them pay in full, make payment options in cash or credit cards.
If unable to pay, lock up their cars or bike in the JPJ compound and charge storage fees per day. After 7 days, confiscate the vehicle if they don’t come and claim back…resell to local at a cheap price..
since barred from leaving the country, then apply malaysian citizenship here lor.
Jangan menteri tau cakap ja..sblom ni pun dah ckp tak x pun nk laksana..hrp memteri PH tau ckp tau juga untuk lakukan jgn pandai ckp mcm menteri dulu2 ja..jgn suka nk saman org tempatan ja.
Not only Singapore, make it for Thailand and Brunei Malaysia borders also. Make them all pay before leaving. Illegal parking, speeding, reckless driving and all. Too much of bullshit
That is a good moves. Singgaporean should respect the law of the nation and pay the summons. If Malaysians go to Singapore, we are treated like we are low class people. But in Malaysia, Singaporean act like they own this country. So those who enforce the law, do your job. Don’t just ngeteh Kedai kopi.
That’s a positive move and should be enforced immediately to deter them their missions.
TIT for TAT.
Yes… Malaysia shd be stern in everything dealing with our closest neighbour. All this while, i do see that Malaysia has been bullied by Singapore. Our latest squabble is…. the air space pertaining to Seletar and the marine boundary.
