Motorists in the Klang Valley seem to be an errant lot, judging from the number of traffic summonses issued by Kuala Lumpur police in the three weeks since ‘Operasi Hormat Undang-undang Jalan Raya’ began on July 3.
During the period, no less than 117,745 summonses were issued in the integrated operation, working out to around 5,600 summonses a day, as The Star reports. Around 83% of the summonses were for offences related to traffic obstruction.
According to Kuala Lumpur police traffic investigations and enforcement department (JSPT) chief ACP Sarifudin Mohd Salleh, as of Monday night, 97,750 summonses had been issued for offences related to traffic obstruction offences such as double parking and parking haphazardly.
Police also cracked down on another offence it said is often overlooked and ignored by motorists, which is stopping one’s vehicle beyond the white line at traffic lights or junctions and inside a yellow box, causing obstruction to pedestrians and traffic flow.
Sarifudin said 4,306 summonses were issued against motorists who failed to stop before the white line at traffic lights, while 298 summonses were issued against those who broke the yellow box rule. He added that those who commit either of the offences will be hit with a RM300 fine.
He said there crackdown on errant motorists was needed because many were failing to obey the law. “This operation is to educate road users, but with enforcement. There will no longer be any tolerance. They need to learn to respect the law,” he told the publication.

Proven lots of “kopi lesen” motorist motorcyclist on the road whom took the guarantee pass package to obtain licence LOL
6 states with PRN sure Anwar gip 70% diskaun or else no votes for him. Just wait.
More without any license to drive/ride.
Agreed. More already spent money on latest aifon and meth supplement, pocket empty can’t renew forever
Near my area, police ignored those cars parking near the bus station that going to the banks; they only interested “cari-makan” from illegal U-turn
moreover, got bangladeshi, pakistani or els got their vehichle running around taman collect besi buruk..or carry construction workers. wonder how they got their driving license. if got caught how to penalize? compound their vehicle or just pay summon? if got accident then how?
Kudos. High time we sort out our bad habits.
what is the point? they just keep on breaking the law and pay a discounted fine once in a while during mega promotion period. no pain
So what brilliant idea you have? Do share.
probably start with not giving discount and for the fine to increase by a given percentage for late payment . A lapse of 3 months Saman ignored (like many are currently ignoring for years on end ) drag to court. At least not rewarding repeat offenders with silly discounts like it is something to be accumulated for fun .
Sama based on net worth like some European countries also worth investigating . There, if if speed in a Lambo be prepared to pay a lot for it.. normal compound amount is no deterrent for mega rich. this is why u see many black tinted VVVVVIP vehicles can do whatever they like as they don’t feel the pinch at all
When are other states going to start this. It is high time as drivers don’t seem to bother about traffic rules
If appropriate actions do not start now, ours would become a chaotic traffic.
This happens before. It will become active saman season, and next thing you know, senyap je. I believe there are active police officers who does rounding and road block right. Why wait for special ops?
Go ahead Saman those double parking n obstructing traffic.More urgently,cops should haul up those riders who habitually speed thro red traffic lights.Those bad hats should be charged in court for potentially being killer machines.
Now everyone can get RM100 ewallet from this income.
JPJ have set a rules on tinted specifications..however most tinted is totally dark same as ViP car tinted. JPJ n Police traffic should conduct more operasi.
When are other states going to start this. It is high time as drivers don’t seem to bother about traffic rules
But not even 1 fine issued for not showing signal whenever changing lane.. so the authority is not there in bringing the accident numbers down. *Sigh
Ini semua macam buat show only lah.
So many things illegal also not solved.
sabar ya kpd yg kene saman… tunggu polis umum diskon hahah
which is stopping one’s vehicle beyond the white line at traffic lights or junctions
This one may be caused by traffic light turning red suddenly with orange being on for a single second. Or to allow the cars behind to turn left (belok Kiri jika tiada kenderaan signboard) or to even have a clear view of left and right traffic with the view being obstructed by illegal banners/cars parked at roadside/food stalls/trees/buildings. Sometimes it’s senseless. As long as u don’t stop the car so far in front that it blocks the path of the pedestrians and cars from right side going straight and block up the space for motorcyclists, I see no issue
Why never go and summon those terrible grab/food panda riders who jump traffic light, ride against traffic?
Also those motorcycle that rides on federal highway?
