BANGI: Twenty-eight companies listed by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) with the highest number of outstanding summonses have settled 34,371 summonses at a cost of RM6.2mil, says JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli.
He said the companies, comprising 11 commercial goods companies and 17 bus operators, had reached out to JPJ after Transport Minister Anthony Loke gave them a two-week grace period beginning June 25 to settle their outstanding summonses.
"JPJ assisted by issuing the latest records and how to settle them immediately. All companies wished to settle their outstanding issues," he said at the media conference of the 2025 JPJ Family Day at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) sports centre here on Sunday (July 27).
He thanked the companies that cooperated but noted that there are others who have yet to settle their summonses but said that the JPJ would give them a grace period of a month starting from July 9 for them to do so.
"If it remains unsettled, the JPJ will blacklist the vehicles under the companies. There are those that we have already blacklisted as they did not respond to us," he added.
He also said that commercial goods companies and bus operators are eligible for the RM150 compound rate that applies to all vehicles issued with Automated Awareness Safety System (Awas) summonses.
"Companies with such summonses qualify for the same offer and we have announced on July 1 that the offer is extended to Dec 31 for three categories, the Awas from October 2018 till now, Notice 114 (interview notice) and Notice 115 (request for driver details) starting from 2023," he added. – Bernama
