Traffic offenders in Malaysia to get discounts from Jan I based on how quickly they pay up

The Straits Times

October 23, 2025

“The less you delay, the less you pay.” This is the new approach to be adopted in Malaysia from Jan 1, 2026, to get traffic offenders to settle their summonses.

Unlike previous programmes by the police and Road Transport Department (JPJ), where discounts on summonses differed between the two enforcement agencies, the new system will offer varying discounts depending on how quickly the summonses are settled.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the Cabinet agreed on Oct 17 to streamline discounts for summonses to avoid the misconception that the law is applied differently by the police and JPJ.
