RTD Issues Ultimatum to Commercial Vehicle Operators Over Unpaid Summonses

The Road Transport Department (RTD) has announced a firm stance against operators of express buses and commercial goods vehicles who fail to settle their outstanding summonses by the upcoming deadline of July 8. Vehicles that remain unpaid beyond this date will face immediate enforcement action, including blacklisting and removal from public roads.

According to NST, Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli, Director-General of the RTD, warned that any vehicle with unsettled summonses will be prohibited from operating. He stressed that RTD enforcement teams will be deployed from midnight on the final day to take decisive action against non-compliant vehicles.

Following the recent directive issued by Transport Minister Anthony Loke, there has been a surge in payments from commercial fleet operators eager to resolve their outstanding penalties. However, Aedy Fadly advised companies to ensure their records are accurate. Operators are encouraged to visit the nearest RTD office to verify their summons status if discrepancies arise. He noted that many may discover additional unpaid summonses upon a thorough check.

The department’s firm deadline and commitment to enforcement mark a clear message to commercial vehicle operators: settle your dues or face consequences that include the suspension of road privileges.
