Reduction of traffic fines postponed
By SIM LEOI LEOI

PUTRAJAYA: The Cabinet has decided to postpone the reduction of traffic fines by the police.
In announcing this after the weekly Cabinet meeting, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy said that the Cabinet agreed that compounds imposed on traffic offenders, especially for serious faults, should be a deterrent.
"The Cabinet feels that the compounds must act as a kind of deterrent, and not a source of revenue for the Government. We feel there is a need to convey the right message on road safety to these offenders.
"The Cabinet also feels there should be more coordination among the different enforcement agencies on this matter," he said, adding that he had also been directed to chair a meeting to specifically discuss the decision taken by the police to reduce the traffic fines.
The meeting would be attended by the police, officials from the Road Transport, and Road Safety Departments and the Internal Security Ministry.
"It will also address issues such as the streamlining of traffic fines imposed by the different enforcement agencies," Chan said. On Monday, Internal Security and Public Order Director Commissioner Datuk Mustafa Abdullah had announced that the police would slash traffic fines by as much as RM200 to encourage offenders to pay up.

Such a shame for the Malaysian Govt. It just shows that there is no communication between them.
It also shows that each one is trying to get on top of the other...trying to show who the real boss..

For a moment i thought we have some good news finally. Now the cabinet decides to postpone the new summons structure. In actual, when they say postpone, it'll be forgotten altogether and we still use back the old summons structure.

Aside from the Polis boleh and Malaysia boleh kind of things.

In your opinion, do you guys think that by lowering the summon prices, they will acheive their objective of;
a. Reduce Bribery to Traffic cops?

And will the malaysian population view this as an opportunity to disrespect the law?
