Singaporeans owe Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) over RM30 million in unpaid summonses. The sum is from 108,798 saman issued since 2016 till March this year.
According to Bukit Aman traffic and enforcement department (JSPT) deputy director SAC Datuk Mohd Nadzri Hussain, the main offence is speeding, which made up 7,371 of the summonses, or 5.1% of the total, Kosmo reported. That’s followed by queue jumping (3,950), ignoring traffic signs (1,309), not wearing seatbelts (1,309) and jumping traffic lights (761). Other summonses were issued for fancy plates, accidents, obstruction and brake lamps.
He added that PDRM has the power to arrest Singapore nationals that have Pol.170A summonses and then change the status to notis saman Pol.257 with a date of trial. The difference is that Pol.170A summonses are not issued face-to-face. If one was stopped by a cop, who then issued a saman directly, that would be Pol.257.
Mohd Nadzri added that Singaporeans with unpaid summonses can be stopped from leaving Malaysia. If they fail to present themselves in court, arrest warrants could be issued. “Among the problems we have in tracking down the traffic offenders is the lack of address. We do not have access to because of jurisdiction,” the cop said, adding that without addresses, the Pol.170A summonses cannot be mailed to the offenders.
Summonses can be paid online and at kiosks in Singapore, although not many are doing so, judging by the headline figures. Mohd Nadzri welcomed JPJ’s move to register foreign vehicles via the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) and Road Charge (RC) system, which will be enforced at borders in the near future. He said that with registration of incoming vehicles in place, PDRM will be able to mail out Pol.170A summonses to Singaporeans.
Kalau salah, kasi saman kompaun terus. Jangan bagi mukak..
too often we see abang-abang polis and JPJ stopped Singaporean motorists… busy negotiating at the road side..Why need to talk 3 talk 4.? If salah,issue ticket and drive off..instead causing traffic jams and being a road hazard. ..another abang-abang favorite..is few Banglas inside teksi and van syarikat..which the Blitz on illegals now
Obviously your not @EDITOR, quite obvious your the name changing politictroll going in these blog. BUT let me ask you this obvious question; if according to you, and only you here, if the enforcement officers are busy negotiating as you claimed, how did they register over Rm30million in unpaid summons? Logic would dictate that if something did took place it would not appear as a summon. So either your lying or making up stories.
So the even more obvious question is; which is it?
Aiyahh. Why make so difficult one. Choose any random weekend.. during the long traffic jam at the ICQ – whenever a singapore car planning to go back singapore and joins the que at the back.. somone with walke talkie can just radio the reg number. So that the traffic police waiting in the complex will take immediate action.
Rm300 is not much to the singaporeans. Especially those who can afford to buy and own csrs and travelling in malaysian every once in a while.
SGD100 is nothing. Kacang.
Bet you majority of these are summons on cars with expired COE and no longer in use at SG. Probably these cars are somewhere in Africa now. So use SG smartchip passports upon reentry to find the owners and saman them!
Singaporean all drive like “goody-goody boy” in their country. When come over to Malaysia, all doing opposite, like speeding, road hogging, double parking, tailgating, etc.
JPJ/polis should saman them in Singapore dollar value, becoz ringgit is “kacang puteh” to them. In addition, dont let them come to Malaysia, if they have outstanding saman.
No need talk so much la, straight into action d. Do what’s needed to be done and it won’t even accumulate to thousands’ …let alone in millions!
RM30m only SGD9.6m. So please pay lor.
ban them all from ever driving here
Look like 2-3 Singaporean taking turns dislike all the comments here.
Plenty of Sinkie paid troopers trying to destabilise our syukur country
Why nobody call the MCMC to investigate?
