The road transport department (JPJ) will no longer set key performance indicators (KPIs) for the number of summonses issued by its enforcement officers, reported The Star.
The department will shift its focus from the number of fines issued to improving compliance and road safety, said JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli. Enforcement operations would prioritise patrols, monitoring and preventive action instead, in order to reduce the risk of road accidents.
“Our focus is not on issuing summonses but on ensuring compliance and reducing the risk of road accidents. The enforcement division will review the summons KPI that was previously set,” he said, saying that the move by JPJ follows the policy direction of the transport ministry to strengthen enforcement strategies that deliver greater impact on road safety.
Enforcement officers would instead be assessed on the effectiveness of operations and safety outcomes, rather than the number of summonses issued.
Last month, transport minister Anthony Loke stated that the key performance indicator of the road transport department (JPJ) is the reduction of fatal accidents, and not the number of summonses issued to motorists.

antoni lock must resign! now on hulubalang jalan cannot demands festival donations from motorist motorcyclist truckies anymore
Loke just realised samans wasnt a good money maker for him unlike selling number plates, coz his boss keeps undercutting his profits by giving 70% diskauns
How to believe you when you lied in your comment on the last day of last year, that his cost cutting measures were responsible for the 2021 Kelana Jaya LRT train collision?
the profits from selling number plates goes directly to the gomen. its thanks to rich people spending millions on nice numbers that the govt still has money to subsidize our budi95.
Number plate auctioning & discounts for traffic offence fines have been going on long before the current PM10 administration.
wrong move! watch so tight no chance get side income from duit kopi, next GE all JPJ vote for awang
Finally anthone loke is functioning at mot, other than as a broker/seller/promoter of number plates.
number plate sales was started by mca transport minister long ago
Good move, focus on safety ….
JPJ should revamp the draconian and dated test for motorbike riding license. One of the nonsense is learners still and must using hand signals that is only suits scooters era in 50’s which were yet to be equipped with turn indicators.
Another rule of the test is leaners must park their bike in a double stands position at the end of the test. If they forget to do just that by parked in a single stand position instead they will fail the test. I was one of the learners who got failed by a JPJ tester some 30 years ago because of the rule.
People question is, in the real world why JPJ or JSPT never issues ticket to bikers parking their bikes in a single stands if parking in double stands is mandatory and very important that bikers must obey? Is double stands park makes bikers safer? Or will it prevent bikes from thieves?
Those example of the comedian acts of the riding test are one of the reason why people especially youngsters won’t go to driving school to learn and sit the test to obtain B2/B1/B license.
Correct, no more saman BUT terus confiscate the car for no insurance and no road tax. This is good as can increase the dept coffer faster than saman which nobody pays since wait for discount.
Good. Hopefully lowers corruption and on the spot tips from guilty drivers and loose agents and improve safety for all. Hopefully…
Very simple things JPJ needs to address the public
1. Switch on headlamps whenever it gets dark, including in mall parkings.
2. Do not use fog lamp when the weather is clear.
3. Seatbelts at the back.
4. Child.seat or seat boosters to enable.children wearing adult.seatbelts.
5. Do not use hazard lights when driving in poorly visible conditions. If you feel not safe, stop driving. Hazard lights are meant for emergency situations involving stationary vehicles, not moving ones.
6. Stricter actions against noisy exhausts, even factory fit especially 2 wheels.
7. Many drivers cannot stick to their lane in corners. They feel the lane is going small when actually the width is all same, its just visual. Because of this they will cross into the neighbouring lane (worst is opposite lane towards oncoming traffic) endangering other road users.
8. Whatever happens to the act that nothing should be paste or sticked or drawn on number plates. Get this correct, its simple. For paultan editors, you can refer this to the book akta undang undang jalan raya dan keselamatan, also sold in shopee.
Bad idea. The impound yard will be full with no easy path to auction off vehicle that owners not coming to claim fearing more charges against them. Those goyang kaki desk staffs will curse for the extra paper work and didn’t do it properly ends up creating a big pile of mess to clean up later. The most important issues is, Ah Lok will not able to ensure the safety of the vehicles impounded, scratches and dents or even missing/swapped vehicles parts.
No KPI.
Nampak pun buat2 tak nampak.
Life’s good.
