KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 22 — Minister of Transport Anthony Loke today announced that the Cabinet has decided to replace summons discounts offered through special programmes or campaigns with a new principle called “The Less You Delay, The Less You Pay”, effective January 1 next year.
Under the new principle, compound rates will be lower if payment is made earlier, Loke explained, adding that the approach aims to encourage motorists to settle their summonses promptly.
“This is because discounts based on programmes are unfair to those who are responsible and pay their summonses early,” he said during a joint press conference with the Home Ministry at the Parliament building today.
The new compound reduction structure is as follows:
- 1–15 days: 50 per cent reduction
- 16–30 days: 33 per cent reduction
- 31–60 days: Full compound rate (no reduction)
- 61 days and above: Court action / blacklisting
However, these incentive rates will not apply to non-compoundable offences such as driving without insurance, without a Motor Vehicle Licence (LKM), or displaying a fake LKM.
Loke said that during the transition period, the public may settle existing compoundable Road Transport Department (JPJ) and Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) summonses at reduced rates of between 50 and 70 per cent from November 1 to December 30, 2025.
“After this period, the ‘The Less You Delay, The Less You Pay’ principle will be fully enforced, and no reductions will be offered for summonses unpaid within 60 days,” he said.
The public can check and make payments via the MySIKAP portal, MyJPJ app, MyBayar PDRM app, and all JPJ counters, kiosks, or PDRM payment channels.
“I call on all road users to settle outstanding summonses before December 30, 2025, and to join efforts in fostering a culture of responsible, disciplined, and safe driving,” Loke added.
Currently, the government has identified differences in compound rates and enforcement methods between JPJ and PDRM, leading to confusion and perceptions of inconsistency in law enforcement.
To address this, Loke said the Cabinet, on October 17, decided to standardise the compound rates and enforcement methods to ensure uniformity in road law enforcement nationwide.
