THE operation hours for the traffic summons discount counters at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium have been extended until 9pm today.

Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department director Mohd Azman Ahmad Sapri said more 18,000 traffic summonses were settled yesterday, while 3,015 summonses were paid as of noon today.

“Yesterday, the counters were open from 9am to 4pm, but due to overwhelming response, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) have decided to extend the hours until 9pm today,” he told reporters.

He said PDRM had set up 14 cash payment counters, besides providing visitors with the option to pay their summonses online using a QR code.

“I’m very satisfied with the set-up. There is sufficient seating with tables as well as air-conditioning to provide comfort to visitors waiting for their turns to settle the summonses, which can take up to two hours,” he added.

On whether the police would extend the 50% discount offer on traffic summonses beyond the three-day Madani Government One-Year Anniversary programme taking place at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium this weekend, Azman said that such a decision would require the approval of Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain. – Bernama, December 9, 2023.
