Johor police, in collaboration with Bukit Aman (federal police HQ), have collected over RM2.4 million through 15,470 overdue traffic summonses incurred by non-Malaysian-registered vehicles, Bernama reports.
“Some 13,529 foreign cars that were checked through this operation were found to have overdue summonses. Through Ops Saman Tertunggak Warga Asing, we have collected around RM2.4 million – RM1.3 million in cash and another RM1.1 million via credit cards,” said Johor police chief Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff.
The six-day operation, which began December 27, was carried out around Johor Bahru and the Second Link Expressway at Gelang Patah. On the first day of the operation alone, RM99,450 was collected from 555 overdue foreigner-incurred summonses.

Good job..! Please make it a once or twice a year thing. In fact… make it a daily practice to make them pay up before they exit the causeway or second link.
This is the money government should collect and impose heavy penalty for late payer.
For offenders from Singapore, just change the currency to SGD instead of MYR. MYR fine is nothing to them due to the weak currency recently.
We Malaysians don’t pay tax build the road for them to speed here!!
Almost all currency value goes down due to strong value growth for American dollar. This include Singapore dollar. Cheers :)
When you fine SGD300 for speeding, they will think twice before (like what they did on SG roads).
MYR300 speeding fine converted to SGD? Barely SGD100++, small money for them.
I believe the term “non-malaysia registered” vehicles are Singaporean carss??
Good job. Make the offenders pay double if they evaded the offence the 1st time.
Double the fine if offenders breaks the law twice.
Seems like Singaporean only “behave” in their own country. But once in Malaysia, they would behave like there is no law.
Their action speaks of their mentality and bad attitude….
These are Malaysian driving Singapore registered car. For goodness sake, go observe in custom before you post comment…
At RM300/SGD115 per pop, speeding in Malaysia is still cheaper than going into the race circuits.
Good job PDRM. Singaporean cars are like king on our highway.
Cool….from last news in Paultan,numbers of Brunei reg cars are also high.so i hope stern action are taken to them.Not forgetting vehicle from Thai.
Fair treatment instead of hunting local offenders to their doorstep.
Good job PDRM!
Good job!
Tahniah PDRM.Lagi bagus jika dapat saman singaporean yang membawa kereta laju di Highway Plus terutama pada waktu pagi di Lebuhraya Kempas, Skudai menuju ke Utara. Mereka ini hanya berdisiplin di tempat sendiri tetapi tidak di negara orang lain.
Since when PDRM/JPJ roadblock consist of 3 lanes? Normally, isnt it PDRM/JPJ like to merge all lane into one and make the traffic bad?
ban all of them, charge those kiasus ERP also
The level of self-righteousness in some of your comments is too-damn-high. Only when collecting Singaporeans money you all applaud your authorities. When they collect Malaysians money you all kao bei kao bu till the sky fall down still haven’t bash finish the authorities.
Good, we stay back in Singapore and keep our money here, safe from all the cheats in uniforms.
Yeah, you do that. You should go vacations in your own country and stay there. Enjoy your weekend drive over there. Result ? There will be no traffic jams in our side and for once people can be safe from your speeding cars. JUST STAY THERE AND BE HAPPY :)
Truth be told….Singaporeans always take the easy way out by settling on the spot rather than being compounded. Singapore vehicles speed like maniacs on Malaysian highways since your men in blue are too on the ball in their duties. Look at most of the major fatal accidents by incompetent speedsters, the latest being a well known scion from a wealthy family.
So hold your horses and abide our speed law and respect other road users.
You know the solution to your own self-righteousness?
Don’t speed, protect your own life and money and indignance.
It is quite disturbing to see comments here. Not ALL Singaporeans misbehave on our road. In fact most of them mainly misbehave in malls, karaoke, restaurants, pasar malam, and some times in the toilets :-)
Sorry, I am just kidding. Personally I don’t have problems with them. They contribute to our economy and that’s fine with me. Whether or not they behave let the authorities take care of them. I have relatives in Singapore and they are super nice people. If you ask me, there is anothet group of people from another Asian country that I have problem with ;-)
Oh, those guys? They’ve already been given ICs. Faster than actual nice people who want to apply for ICs.
Based on NST, there are 313000 outstanding summons involving foreigners. If 15k+ summonses can bring over RM2m in collection, imagine if we collect all! This should be a daily practice….have a station at the immigration just for foreign registered cars.
RM2M if collected means very little to the country, as the capital outflow for Malaysia in 2013 is around USD500b
The big question here is, where will this money go? For the benefit of the mighty rakyatkah?
