Singaporean motorists traveling in Malaysia are reminded they can be stopped from exiting Malaysia should they have unpaid police summons. This includes those who have warrants of arrest issued by the court, says Malaysian police Traffic Enforcement and Investigation Department (JSPT) Bukit Aman director Datuk Mat Kasim Karim.
According to Mat Kasim, to date 108,757 traffic summons issued to Singaporean motorists between 2016 to 2021, out of a total of 143,427 summons issued, have yet to be settled, as reported by Berita Harian. “JSPT reminds Singaporean traffic offenders with outstanding summons Pol 170A or Pol 257 they can be prevented from leaving Malaysia under Section 66J of the Road Transport Act 1987 and Section 24(4) of the Police Act 1967,” Mat Kasim said,”
“Should the offender have an outstanding warrant, they will be arrested and brought forward to the court on an immediate basis. Should charges be brought the same day, the offender will be detained if they are unable to provide a bailor who is a Malaysian citizen, before arraignment the next day,” Mat Kasim explained.
“Enforcement operations are continuously being carried out against Singapore motorists who break the law in Malaysia, including large and medium scale operations carried out by the JSPT Johor contingent year round,” Mat Kasim continued. Additionally, Mat Kasim welcomed the move to implement the Road Charge and Vehicle Entry Permit soon to be enforced at the Malaysia-Singapore Causeway.
“The system will record entry and details of Singapore vehicles to Malaysia as well as any outstanding summons, reducing the issue of unpaid traffic summons,’ Mat Kasim said. Additionally, JSPT is using the iCOPS vehicle number plate identification system to trace traffic offenders as well as tracing vehicles reported missing or stolen, including cloned vehicles. “The In-Car Radar system will also be used detect speeding, with on-the-spot summons issued,” said Mat Kasim.

which means u allow 108,757 offenders to go out of the country..so weak la our enforcement..at border also cant do anything
Good job pdrm…teach these kiasu singaporeans a lesson…let them sleep on the roadside if they dont want to pay …cheapskate people no culture…what a disgrace…coming here behaving like monkeys…
Copy paste: “Please close the border again for the singapore motorist. Don’t let them come in except by public transport.
Triple reciprocal charges for Singapore registered car”
I don’t think they brother about the triple charges because their currency also triple value than RM
It’s actually terrible what’s happening. These are people who earn more money than us but are not willing to pay our summons. Together with the RON95 issue these are all issues that can be solved easily by the government if they actually wanted to.
Enforcement comes when education failed. To rely on enforcement that tells us SG education has failed to teach them right from wrong and to follow rules.
Brother, they will break the law anyway, it doesn’t matter whether in Melaka or Pattaya, they still break laws. It is in their nature.
This issue has been highlighted for many donkey years..PDRM singing the same old tune but could not tackle it once for all..It shows lack of will and ability in PDRM..Talk and talk and talk. Look at Singapore Authorities efficiency in resolving backlog issues..Just do it la PDRM…No need “publisiti ISU sudah basi.”
Copy paste: “asal dengar Polis or JPJ je terus nak kondem..susah la kalau dah toxic minded..komplen macam2 memang la senang..kalau ko sendiri kene langgar dgn auto-pilot car tu baru la tau macam mana
senang je nak tau toxic minded ke tak..polis takde pun ban kereta auto-pilot ni, boleh je pakai asalkan kene hands on the steering wheel and proper good driving behaviour bukannya drive macam nak tido from start to the end of trip. tapi korang mandai2 lak cakap backward country lah, kenapa ban lah, etc.
kadang2 ko rase ko betul tapi padahal takde la betul sangat”
This is not a Malaysia problem. This is a Singapore problem when they never learnt ethics & morals. Go Japan, Korea & Taiwan, they have a law abiding society but they also have freer way of thinking within bounds of their high ethics & morals.
Lee Kuan Yew thought he could inculcate such mentality with an island prison but all he did was cultivate prisoner mentality onto his people, they never learnt ethics & morality like the Japanese, Koreans, or Taiwanese so for generations each time they get to go out, they become devils & demons.
So as long their education system & society lacks ethics & morality, they will continue to go crazy where they go, not just in Malaysia.
Don’t blame Malaysia, your sinkie high education mana? Never thought you to obey rules kah? Or you only obey rules like prisoners, never follow unless constantly being threatened?
yeah, they mostly obey law by punishment- prison style/ communist command center – difficult to find any another Japanese nation in Asia- respect law & truly civilized
Respect laws only in prison environment, once out buat macam hantu puaka. Spesis manusia ni bukan org tp hantu.
Funny how you missed out Koreans, Honkies and Taiwanese, ohh but here’s the catch… whereever they go they bring their good manners with them. Take a Singaporean out of island and suddenly “guai seong san, yan peen guai”.
Finally, you are doing it. but make sure we are not taking any bribes. By system doesn’t allow them to go out. Because Singapore enforcement is stricter than us and you are not allowed to come out of Singapore with the summons. This is a good move.
hahahaha ya right
with over 100k+ offender allowed ran free since 2016…what make this year, this time any different
This year they are desperate to come in after 2 years barred from crossing. This time the authorities are ready.
talk only, no action, else wont backlog until 2016….if go back to some older news, backlog till 2011! Meaning there is no system to detect the drivers and catch them at checkpoint immigration.
They claimed to be law abiding citizen….in their own backyard jer….masuk negara orang start smoking in No Smoking Zone and whatnot…..
We speak as though our drivers here are very courteous. We should bar our own traffic offenders from taking to the roads again until they pay their summons.
I wonder if we have a realtime system integration between the Immigration & JPJ/Police with regards to this traffic offends. Supposedly whenever the SG cars wanted to exit Malaysia, they should not be allowed until they settled their summonses. Why so difficult??
Kiasu Singaporean like that one…masuk kampong orang nak jadi taiko ma….. duduk kampong sendiri baik punya citien …. lu ingat lu punya sgd banyak besarkah…
