Over RM2.5m Foreign Vehicle Summonses Collected Since Sept

Bernama reports that over RM2.5 million in outstanding fines have been collected from foreign drivers, primarily from Thailand, since the September launch of Ops Tunggak, according to JPJ enforcement senior director Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan.

Van drivers transporting workers from Thailand to Malaysia, especially to the Klang Valley, were responsible for most of the fines paid. According to Muhammad Kifli, the majority of these fines were paid in Perlis, followed by Kedah, Kelantan, and Perak - all states bordering Thailand.



“The highest single fine paid was by a Thai van driver who settled RM65,000 in outstanding summonses. Once the fines were paid, we released the van,” he said.

JPJ has also recovered RM35 million in overdue summonses through its special compound offer, which allows fines to be settled at a fixed rate of RM150. Currently, there are more than two million outstanding summonses. Muhammad Kifli urged the public to settle their payments before the June 30 deadline.
