The ministry of transport (MoT) has deemed the current maximum compound of RM300 to be insufficient to deter errant motorists and will propose for the amount to be increased. This is part of sweeping amendments to the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333) that the ministry has planned.
At present, Act 333 lists several offences where those found guilty will be liable to a maximum fine of RM300. Some of the common ones include driving without a valid driving licence or road tax, reckless driving (including speeding) and running a red light.
As for what the new minimum amount will be, it will obviously be more than RM300 but we’ll only know the actual figure when the ministry presents its proposed amendments in Parliament, which will meet for the second meeting of its fifth term next week.

On top of increasing summon rate, should have look into more severe punishment/imprisonment or even hanging if necessary. Also, just increasing summon without taking action, the summons is just some useless piece of paper, coz everytime when there’s issue happened, we keep hearing the driver have cases and 10-20-30 summons… so there’s no point by just giving summons without proper action being take.
rm300 or rm1000 makes no difference to the rich. What about Rm300 as minimum, then additional depending on their net income/worth? This way those super rice people will also feel the pain.
Nope. The fine should be applicable to all. You break the law, you pay for it, be it how much stipulated by the law.
you parasite of society better watch yourself, you poor won’t understand this if we have to pay more you worker will be getting a pay cut
maybe dont break the law in the first place, you T20 criminal scum
typical lawbreaking T20 criminal scum reply above
It’s not about the rate,
It’s about how efficient the driver can be notified regarding thier saman, then auto deduction and informed too.
This already happened at the advanced country.
Doesn’t matter unless enforced. I know people with decades-old summons that are still in their record but they’ve never bothered to pay them.
I would suggest Mot emulate Thailand whereby fines for minor traffic violations are at a rate affordable and needed to be paid on the spot by whatever means.
This is a win-win situation for both offenders ( especially unintentional) as well as the authorities. This will prevent unpaid summonses piling up and ended up with a huge workload for PDRM and the courts.
Worry not. Come Hari Malaysia, you will get discount.
How about saman based on income. Let say 1% for first time, then keep increasing with subsequent one. Starts with RM300 as minimum and move from there.
why not fuel prices based on income . RM1 per liter of ron95 if you are b40 , RM2 for M40, and RM3 for T20 .
