Traffic offenders who do not settle Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) compound notices before Feb 29 may not be able to renew their road tax.

Details of traffic offenders who have not settled their traffic compounds will be given to the Road Transport Department (JPJ) starting March 1.

The council has some 4.1 million traffic summonses that are yet to be settled.

These summonses amount to approximately RM100mil, before discount.

It is understood that MBPJ and JPJ came to an agreement on the matter last month.

Petaling Jaya mayor Mohd Azizi Mohd Zain said from Dec 1 until Feb 29, the council would be offering discounts of up to 80% for traffic compounds.

He was speaking to reporters after MBPJ’s full board meeting.

“This campaign offers the public one last chance to settle their summonses.

“The discounted rates are for compounds issued between 1999 and 2014.

“Compounds issued this year will be at the same rate,” he said.

The discount is not applicable for compounds related to entertainment outlets, cyber cafes, massage centres and those pending legal action.
