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.

Comments largely support the idea of enforcing timely payments of traffic fines on foreigners, especially Singaporeans, before they exit Malaysia. Many emphasize the need for stricter enforcement, vehicle confiscation, and inter-agency cooperation. Some suggest extending this policy to other neighboring countries and increasing fines for luxury vehicles. There’s frustration over past lax enforcement and calls for action to prevent reckless driving and illegal activities, with a general positive sentiment towards making enforcement more effective and asserting Malaysia’s sovereignty.
