Ever since the road transport department (JPJ) began offering a 50% discount on outstanding summonses from November 1, 2025, it has managed to collect RM93.51 million from motorists who have paid up as of December 28, reports NST. The discount is still available until December 30, so there’s still time to settle your hutang to the department.
According to JPJ enforcement director Datuk Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan, the collection of the RM93.51 million involved 702,606 settled summonses. From that total, 404,535 involved the Automated Awareness Safety System (AWAS) which is aimed at curbing speeding offences.
Meanwhile, 295,955 were for JPJ (P) 22 notices under the Road Transport Act that cover offences such as running red lights, abuse of emergency lanes, using a mobile phone while driving as well as overtaking on double lines. Another 2,116 summonses were for offences under the Commercial Vehicles Licensing Board Act.
“With only a few days remaining for the discount programme, we encourage motorists to settle their outstanding summonses,” said Muhammad Kifli. He added that the collection is so far is a small fraction of the RM1.42 billion in outstanding summonses still owed. Back in November this year, transport minister Anthony Loke revealed that 5.5 million JPJ summonses remain unsettled nationwide.

There could be half billion in summonses but the people already passed away. That’s why they are not worried and don’t bother to pay. Perhaps JPJ could just write it all off.
How irony that authorities have to beg offenders and offered discount to them to pay up summons. Yet the offenders not taken to court or put in jail?
the amount of offenders will be too overwhelming to civil judiciary system. Only military court could control the trial of all these offenders
You think they want to be voted out?
