KUALA LUMPUR: The police collected RM2.1mil in traffic summonses on the first day of its 60% discount offer held as part of the government’s second anniversary celebration.
Federal Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department director Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri said 24,400 summonses were settled on Friday.
“The three most common offences paid for were traffic obstruction, ignoring traffic signals, and speeding,” he said when met by Bernama yesterday.
Mohd Yusri also urged the public to take advantage of online payment options through the MyBayar PDRM app or mybayar.rmp.gov.my/en/main.
“There’s no need to queue for long. Simply obtain a QR code coupon from traffic officers stationed along the line to proceed to the counters for traffic summons checks and payments at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre,” he added.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his deputies also visited the counters earlier yesterday and interacted with the public, while Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof had also proposed extending the discount nationwide.
He shared that visitors were pleased and expressed their gratitude to the Madani government for the discounts and convenience provided during the 2TM programme.
On Friday, Mohd Yusri said they had made preparations to ensure the convenience and comfort of visitors.
They set up 25 counters for summons checks and payments, including seven special counters, 21 e-payment machines, and 520 seats for the public.
