At the recent "One-year with Madani government" celebration, many were expecting that JPJ would also offer saman discounts; however, transportation minister Anthony Loke stuck to his guns and refused to give discounts for summonses.

When Loke headed the ministry from 2018 to 2020, he claimed that the road transport department, which is under the transport ministry, had implemented a policy of no discounts since 2018. According to the MP from Seremban, summonses serve as a kind of instruction, and it is unjust to provide individuals who pay their bills on time a discount.







This policy has been in place since I became the transport minister in 2018. Subsequently, I canceled a one-time AES camera sponsorship worth over RM4 million and got positive feedback. The public is to be informed, that is the message we wish to convey. He stated during the Bukit Jalil event, as reported by Bernama, "It's unfair to those who paid theirs within the set period if we give discounts."

The cabinet and chief secretary to the government, Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali, have been apprised of the situation, and Loke stated that JPJ, the organization in charge of road safety, will not back down on this issue.


"I discovered yesterday that individuals came to JPJ's counter (during the event) in hopes of receiving saman discounts, and they were dissatisfied. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused," Loke stated. It's possible that some people thought JPJ would offer discounts at the event, similar to PDRM's 50% offer. The home ministry is in charge of the police.
