Traffic Summons Discount Ends, Tougher Penalties Ahead – Should Authorities Extend?

download---2025-10-01T140759.149-(1).jpeg The much-talked-about traffic summons discount of up to 70% officially ended yesterday, and it seems plenty of drivers missed the chance to settle their fines. 

According to JPJ, nearly 4.9 million summonses worth RM1.42 billion remain unpaid, despite the massive incentive offered from Nov 1 to Dec 30, 2025. The discount had been introduced as a final push before the new unified traffic summons system rolls out in Jan 2026.

During the campaign, JPJ collected RM93.51 million, clearing over 700,000 summonses, with the Automated Awareness Safety System (AwAS) offences accounting for more than half of the payments. 

But with the clock now stopped, those who missed the deadline are facing a tough new reality.

From Jan next year, a tiered payment system comes into play. Pay within 15 days and you still get 50% off, 16-30 days gives 33%, after 31 days it’s full price, and after 61 days, you’ll be blacklisted and facing court actions.

JPJ will block your NRIC and vehicle from renewing road tax or driving license, and driving without either could mean impoundment or immediate legal trouble.

For persistent offenders, the new system also means mandatory court appearances, and ignoring a court date could lead to a warrant of arrest. 

The revamped KEJARA demerit system will now add points automatically after a summons expires, which could lead to warnings, license suspension, or even revocation for repeat offenders.

Checking Bukit Aman’s Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department Facebook page, it’s clear many people are frustrated. A lot appealed for an extension, saying they thought the deadline was today, Dec 31, 2025. 

With so many summonses still outstanding, there’s a chance authorities might extend the discount for another month, but for now, we’ll have to wait and see. What do you think? Should they give people extra time?
