PETALING JAYA: In conjunction with the 68th National Day and the 62nd Malaysia Day celebration, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail has announced a 50% discount for traffic police summons nationwide.
According to Saifuddin Nasution, this campaign from today to Sept 16 is a joint effort between the Home Ministry and the police, as well as with MyDigital ID.
Saifuddin also said the 50% discount is only available for payments made through the police’s MyBayar App using the MyDigital ID login details.
“The campaign will take place from Aug 31 to Sept 16. Therefore, the public is welcome to take this golden opportunity to settle their traffic police summonses,” he said yesterday.
Saifuddin Nasution said that in conjunction with the National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations, the government is not just celebrating national achievements but also providing aid that will directly benefit the people.
“This discount is a symbol of appreciation from the government to Malaysians, aside from encouraging the use of national identity as a foundation for the digital transformation of public services.
“I urge all Malaysians to support the government’s efforts towards more efficient, transparent and modern services.”
He said this initiative is part of the government’s efforts to strengthen the nation’s digital services while providing citizens with an easier, faster and safer way to resolve traffic summonses.
According to Saifuddin Nasution, MyDigital ID serves as a valid and secure digital identity verification method.
He said MyDigital ID ensures more secure access and reduces the risk of identity fraud as well as misuse of personal information.
“In this implementation, the government, through the Home Ministry and the police, demonstrates its commitment to prioritising the wellbeing of its citizens while advancing the country’s digitalisation agenda in line with the spirit of independence and Malaysia’s progress,” he added.
On Aug 26, Saifuddin Nasution said the government aims for 13 million Malaysians to register for MyDigital ID by the end of this year.
