JPJ collected RM4 billion in 2021, RM71.2 million from traffic summonses; aims for RM4.12b revenue in 2022

The road transport department (JPJ) has collected RM 4.004 billion in revenue in 2021, of which RM2.79 billion or 70% has been from road tax renewals, followed by RM521.1 million or 13% from driver’s license renewals, JPJ director-general Datuk Zailani Hashim.

From the total revenue collected by the JPJ last year, RM71.2 million or 1.78% was from the payment of traffic summonses, which is from the payment for 507,956 summonses out of the 1,039,612 summonses issued in total, Zailani said in a speech today.

In terms of other revenue streams in 2021, the JPJ has also collected RM204 million from the sales of 117 special and regular state runs of number plates, or approximately RM1.7 million for every number plate series released last year. This, too represents an increase over the RM177 million collected from 130 runs of number plates, which acquired RM1.3 million for each series of number plates released in 2020.

The total number of registered vehicles in Malaysia has reached 33.1 million units, which represents an increase of 800,000 units compared to 2020. Meanwhile, the number of license holders has increased by 5.1% to a total of 16.2 million motor vehicle license holders, compared to 15.8 million in 2020.

“In the era of Industry 4.0, along with the transition from 4G to 5G, JPJ is exploring all avenues to ensure the consistency of not just the government’s revenue streams every year, but also the delivery of of services to customers at an optimum level,” said Zailani.

For the coming year, the JPJ aims to achieve RM4.12 billion in revenue for 2022, and to that end the road transport department has received from the government, via the ministry of finance, an allocation of 100 additional kiosks at all JPJ branches throughout Peninsular Malaysia. For mobile facilities, the government has also allocated 20 JPJ mobile vans for the department at state level.

      Improving roads is JKR, not JPJ responsibility. You are going to the wrong department.

      LOL! Saman only makes up 1.8% of total revenue. They got other things to look for if they want to increase revenue lah.

    Basically JPJ is not out to saman people but rather chose to educate the public. Only when certain segments are stubborn to comply with the law, will they saman. Education comes first. Dredd agrees.

      They’ve been already educated that when they break (not brake) the traffic laws, they still have a chance to wait for discount offers, if they get issued summons.

      Where is the proof? They don’t have any road safety drives. The only people promoting road safety are the road users themselves. JPJ and the PDRM are only out to saman and infuriate the public with their useless traffic stops at busy hours. The RM4 Billion collected last year will never make it to public and road improvements. So I guess their aim for higher profits this year would mean more inconsiderate stops and more traffic jams. Thanks JPJ and PDRM for your stupidness.

    JPJ saman already 4b…wonder how much police saman is? Many let go with warning and don’t get saman. And yet still got year end promo discount on saman some more.
    If really want to catch I believe the amount is even more than double.. Maybe saman over 10b only then Malaysian will learn the lesson.

      Stupid, don’t know how to read properly, is it? 4 bil is total amount, summons only a small portion of the total. Next time go to school and learn how to read properly.

    Capable gov looks for revenue outside of the country. Increasing summon revenue is directly saying 1. u paying more police to hide behind trees with camera 2. the JPJ rules/ system is not working; more offenders over time. THis is really not a bright KPI to make public… which goes back to the first sentence of capability!
