Settle summonses or face enforcement, RTD warns commercial operators
KOTA BARU: The Road Transport Department (RTD) says it will act against express buses and commercial goods vehicles that fail to settle outstanding summonses within the 14-day deadline.
RTD director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said the deadline will end on July 8, after which enforcement will follow.
He said the vehicles will be blacklisted and barred from the roads if payment is not made before the deadline.
"We guarantee that by midnight on the final day, RTD officers will be on the roads to act against the vehicles found to have unsettled summonses. We are fully prepared for this.
"Since the announcement by Transport Minister Anthony Loke last Friday, company operators have been rushing to pay their summonses.
"If any company feels the number of summonses issued does not match their records, they are welcome to visit the nearest RTD office for verification.
"They may even find that they have more summonses upon further checks," he said.
He was speaking at a press conference after attending the RTD's Setia Assembly here today.
Also present was RTD senior enforcement director Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan.
