The Selangor road transport department (JPJ) says it recorded a 32% increase in summonses it issued last year compared to the year before. The department said it meted out 349,289 summonses for various offences in 2023, well up from the 263,786 fines it issued in 2022.
According to state JPJ director, Azrin Borhan, the highest number of summonses (111,837) were for offences related to various technical faults found on vehicles. These include vehicles operating with bald tyres and having faulty signal lights.
This was followed by driving without a licence or an expired licence (30,142) and riding with an expired motorcycle licence (17,799), with the rest involving various other offences, Bernama reports
He said the increase in such offences, especially those involving compliance aspects, may be due to drivers not paying enough attention to their vehicles. “We advise drivers to check their vehicles before starting any journey,“ he said following an integrated Selangor JPJ compliance operation at the Puchong Selatan Toll Plaza yesterday.
During the operation, a total of 1,217 vehicles were inspected, with the department issuing 583 summonses for various offences. Additionally, three vehicles were also seized.

good job PH BN….kudos to the hard work done…more enforcement and work is done…do more to catch mat rempits and drunk ah bengs at night….
It just shows under PH there is a 32% increase in law breaking and it is no wonder since the master of lawbreaking is now the state & federal Govt.
Plus it furthers the Govt accepting breaking the law is a norm with PMX giving 70% and 50% saman discounts.
So in your eyes if no one was capturing the data like under previous governments then the offences aren’t happening la. Or conversely not enforcing the law or kena rasuah so not captured under the reporting system. Pandainya anda dengan ilmu statistik.
Seen a few times a construction contractor engineer uncle rides kapchai only wearing the contractor yellow helmet around the vicinity roads around Damansara Uptown centre. Those polis bantuan car ronda there pretending didn’t notice him.
Whats the point of increase of 32% in saman,if some bright VVIP start announcing 50% rebates,to boost collection n enhance his/her popularity ?
Just disgusting and unacceptable to give rebates to the hardcore offenders while law abiding rakyat have paid saman in full.
haha..
tak apa… tunggu discount..
Polis saman discount has no benefit for jpj saman offenders
What about faulty third break light that happen to many many perodua cars? Super loud motorcycle and car exhaust? Super bright headlamp? Those are super annoying and dangerous to other road users, please focus on those and enforce harder, I hardly see you all doing your job, come on, buck up!
Can’t they saman those that not yield for pedestrians. Some even stop on the zebra crossing smh
An increase in summons means increased revenue. Good business for the Government anyway. It doesn’t matter if you have a discount or not.
All these summons is very good. There is however another key components, people ignore the summons and there is no real consequences (Except summons from JPJ whereby road tax & driving license cannot renew, then many continued to drive without both).
To these people, summons is just another piece of paper they throw away.
