Traffic offenders who have Automated Awareness Safety System (AWAS) summonses received after May 2017 and who haven’t paid the fine, take note – pay up soon or you’re set to be hauled to court early next year, theSundaily reports.
According to deputy transport minister Datuk Ab Aziz Kaprawi, traffic offenders have a month to settle their compound fines, failing which the Road Transport Department (JPJ) will begin hauling them to court early next year.
“Offenders who have not paid their AWAS compound which was issued since May this year can be taken to court. The ministry, through JPJ, is working to bring AWAS offenders to court, and the ministry is suggesting that it be done early next year,” he told the Dewan Rakyat.
He urged offenders to pay their summonses to evade court action. “The compound is RM150, but if you go into court, the minimum fine is RM300. Thus, we are giving them a chance to pay their compounds until early next year, and I urge them to pay as soon as possible. This is the government’s approach,” he said.
Aziz said that summonses issued under the Automated Enforcement System (AES) from 2012 to April 2017 were still being reviewed by the auditor-general’s chambers, but reiterated that those issued under AWAS are in effect and enforcement will be pursued.
Last month, it was reported that JPJ had issued 251,193 summonses through AWAS from its start of operation on April 15 until the first half of October, but though RM37 million in fines have been racked up, only RM5.3 million has been collected to date.

My civic turbo can run so fast that the camera can’t capture in time.
my kancil turbo cucuk u behind camera also tak dapat capture.
Enough with ur stupid civic story lah, get a life Honda stupid boy, go eat medicine. (u are not even qualified to be called a fanboi)
Oh My! April to Oct they issued 251,193 summonses. Wow, loads of money revenue for the gomen. Beratus juta!
Then why then hospitals and schools have their budget cut so much??
Where is all this saman money going to???
If only they go after them… unfortunately our government talk cock sing song only. Last last give discount. I also don’t know who’s more powerful? Motorists or PDRM.
if they channel the saman to skool n horsepeter rakyat can do speeding to donate money
Where is all this saman money going to??? Shhhh Bro. Cannot tell la. Nanti Kena Tangkap. Saman Itu Lagi Mahal. He he he
the money from fine goes to GLC company which provide the camera…u know la…
Bulk of this summons will not be able to collect from the offender as they don’t have the money. Looks like jail is the only option for them.
Everyday warning only. Bila mau tangkap? Talk cock again?
Just like foreign worker… go sapu now at least a bit difference. This summons thing has been an ongoing issue since I learned driving 20 years ago.
Aiyaa..just a lame tactic to scared people. Last time Anti AES (KASE) lawyer went to court JPJ says no witness from the. The court adjourn and case still hanging from that day. Hello..there are more cars and motorcycle without a valid road tax and insurance covered plus more people who do not own driving license lurking on the road everyday. Should these people car?
Pretty sure in court the compound can be any amount the judge decide.
Foo Yoh !! JPJ is Serious Man. They will take U to court if U fail to pay some-more in ONE month.
Lets say half(125,596) did not pay. It will take an entire yr just to clear the outstanding not to mention new summons issued.
Good luck to JPJ. Most will want to know how U tackle this issue gingerly !! He he he.
Does that mean those issued with summonses under AES from 2012 to Apr 2017 can still get away without paying? :P
Tangkap aje, I got valid excuse to tell boss off a day
Would be helpful if this article gives a link for readers to check JPJ summons.
Never mind, I spoon feed you.
