Selangor Police Collect RM19.5 Million During Summons Discount Period

Selangor police recorded the settlement of 258,345 traffic summonses worth RM19.51 million during the two-month 70% summons discount programme, which ran from Nov 1 to Dec 30.

Chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said figures as of Dec 30 showed collections from 125,759 POL 257 summonses, amounting to RM11.49 million, and 132,586 POL 170A summonses worth RM8.02 million.

"Collections were led by Klang Selatan district police headquarters, which recorded RM2.7 million, followed by Petaling Jaya with RM2.1 million and Kajang with RM1.7 million," he said. 

Shazeli stated the programme also highlighted a growing shift towards digital payment methods among the public. While cash payments still made up a slightly larger share at RM10.06 million, e-payments accounted for a significant RM9.45 million, reflecting increasing acceptance of cashless transactions.

“This balance shows that the public is increasingly inclined towards faster and more efficient payment methods, in line with the nation’s digital transformation efforts,” he added.

He also expressed appreciation to the public for their strong response following the conclusion of the discount programme, which was implemented across all traffic counters under the Selangor police contingent.

“The initiative not only helped ease the financial burden on the public, but also encouraged greater awareness and compliance with road traffic laws, contributing to safer roads for everyone,” Shazeli concluded.
