Johor traffic police have yet to collect a total of RM42.09 million (S$13 million) in outstanding summonses from Singaporean motorists and fully intend to do so, according to state traffic investigation and enforcement Chief Supt Dzulkairi Mukhtar.
The Star Online quoted him as saying that they have managed to collect about RM5.6 million from Singaporean motorists for outstanding traffic summonses from 2008 until April this year.
This, said Mr Dzulkairi, was collected from 41,998 summonses and that there are still 140,321 outstanding summonses.
“So far, there are 140,321 unpaid summonses owed by Singaporean motorists and we are going after them to settle their fines,” he told the news portal.
Mr Dzulkairi said most of the summonses were for speeding and illegal parking, and were calculated at the maximum of RM300 fine for each offence.
He added that the Johor traffic police would continue to hold Ops Saman Tertunggak Warga Asing regularly to make Singaporean motorists with outstanding summonses pay up.
“Those motorists who are located will be made to pay their fines on the spot.
“Our men will also be equipped with wireless credit card readers in order to facilitate electronic payments,” he said. MMO
