“Selangor police are seeing a positive trend, with the public increasingly embracing digital technology. Although cash payments still recorded a higher amount at RM10.05mil, e-payment methods also showed very significant figures, with collections totalling RM9.4mil.

He also expressed appreciation for the public’s commitment to settling their outstanding summonses.
“This initiative not only helps ease the burden on the public but also serves as a catalyst for greater awareness and compliance with road laws, for the well-being of all road users in the state,” he added.
