Vehicle owners with unpaid fines for three specific categories of Road Transport Department (RTD) summonses will face blacklisting and restrictions on conducting RTD transactions starting July, according to RTD director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli.
The affected summons categories include the Automated Awareness Safety System (AwAS) summons (53A), Notice 114 (investigation interview notice), and Notice 115 (affixed summons notice).
According to NST, Aedy Fadly announced that stricter enforcement would commence following the conclusion of a special compound offer of RM150 for these offences, which ends on June 30.
“Offenders will face transaction restrictions and blacklisting until their fines are fully settled. This means drivers with unpaid fines will not be able to renew their driving licences or road tax,” he said during a press conference.
He emphasised the importance of settling outstanding fines during this grace period, adding, “This period is an opportunity for Malaysians to settle their outstanding fines promptly under the special compound rate, but many remain unaware of it.”
Since the special offer was introduced in January, RTD has collected RM12.5 million in payments for 83,000 summonses. However, approximately two million summonses remain unresolved.
Aedy Fadly urged the public to take advantage of the RM150 compound offer before stricter measures come into effect. Payments can be made at RTD counters nationwide or through the MyJPJ mobile application.
