RTD collects paltry RM56mil despite special offer on traffic summonses
KOTA BARU: The Road Transport Department (RTD) has collected only a paltry RM56 million from 374,024 summonses issued under its special flat rate compound offer. The campaign, which began in January, aimed to encourage settlements by motorists who committed traffic offences. RTD senior enforcement director Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan said the collection only represented around 20 per cent of the total outstanding summonses. A figure he described as still relatively low. The RM150 flat rate applies to camera-detected offences (like speeding), notices asking you to appear for questioning, and requests to confirm who was driving your vehicle during an offence. "This offer will end on June 30. "As of now, we have collected RM56 million, involving 374,024 summonses," Kifli said. He was speaking at a press conference held during the Special Motorcycle Operation in conjunction with the Aidiladha Road Safety Campaign (HRAA) along Jalan Kuala Krai here late last night. Kifli urged public not to miss the opportunity to settle their outstanding summonses at a reduced rate before the offer ends. "This initiative aims to encourage the public to clear their outstanding summonses at a lower rate. "Once the offer ends, the summonses will return to their original rates," he added.
