KUALA LUMPUR, April 16 — The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), through Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT), will improve the e-payment platform and MyBayar Saman application to further increase the collection of summonses.
As at yesterday, 814,622 users had registered with the MyBayar Saman since its inception on March 25, said JSPT director Datuk Azisman Alias.
“We are in the process of updating the system, among others, by introducing collections of summonses such as registration for companies and foreigners, and individual payment limits,” he told Bernama.
Thus far, MyBayar Saman is the sole provider of online payment systems for the public to pay summonses issued by PDRM.
Azisman said that police have collected more than RM89 million, involving 803,739 summonses, from the public via MyBayar Saman, following discounts of up to 50 per cent for traffic summonses, which ended yesterday.
On March 25, the Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador, said that members of the public with traffic summonses can enjoy discounts of up to 50 per cent via the MyBayar Saman online portal and smartphone application from March 25 to April 11.
The offer was then extended to April 15 due to encouraging public response.
However, discounts were not offered for selected road offences such as beating traffic lights, overspeeding, overtaking on double lines, using a mobile phone while driving and driving in the emergency lane.
