ONCE again, I read with total disbelief that the police are offering a 50% discount for traffic offenders to settle their outstanding summonses. Don’t they realise that offering a discount has a totally counterproductive effect? Why would any traffic offender even consider paying his summons when he knows for sure that, sooner or later, there would be a discount offer coming up?
It is a sad fact that Malaysia has the third highest fatality rate from road traffic accidents in Asia and Asean, and one of the main reasons identified is the lack of enforcement.
