The 70% traffic summons payment reduction campaign by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) does not apply to non-compoundable offences, which are considered more serious violations that cannot be settled with a standard compound payment.
These offences typically include cases such as reckless or dangerous driving, driving under the influence, and accidents resulting in injury or death. Such cases must go through court proceedings instead of being resolved with a fine.
The discount campaign, which runs from 1 November to 30 December 2025, applies only to compoundable offences, meaning offences that can be settled through payment without requiring a court appearance. Eligible motorists can make payment at a reduced rate, subject to the current compound value and a minimum of RM30.
JSPT Director Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri said the discount covers only compoundable offences and is intended to encourage motorists to settle their outstanding summonses early.
Summons payments can be made through the MyBayar PDRM platform, which is available to users registered with MyDigital ID, or at all district traffic counters and post offices across the country.
Mohd Yusri said the campaign will continue until 30 December 2025. He added that the initiative aligns with the government’s plan to restructure the rates and payment methods for traffic summons compounds issued by both PDRM and the Road Transport Department (JPJ).
The revised system will take effect on 1 January 2026, based on the principle of “The Less You Delay, The Less You Pay.”
Under the new framework, motorists will be able to enjoy lower compound rates when payments are made promptly. The change aims to encourage early settlement of summonses and reduce long-standing arrears among vehicle owners.
This restructuring forms part of the government’s wider plan to modernise enforcement processes and strengthen compliance among road users. By introducing a time-based payment system, authorities aim to make traffic fine management more transparent and efficient.
Mohd Yusri encouraged motorists to take advantage of the discount campaign before 30 December as a show of support for the government’s effort to foster a safer and more disciplined driving culture.
He said timely payment of summonses reflects respect for traffic laws and helps improve overall road safety in Malaysia.
Motorists can check and pay their summonses through the MyBayar PDRM app or website, which integrates with MyDigital ID for secure verification. Payments can also be made at traffic police counters and post offices nationwide.
The platform enables users to review summons details, confirm eligibility for discounts, and make payments quickly without service charges.
The traffic summons payment reduction campaign is part of PDRM’s broader initiative to encourage voluntary compliance and ease the financial burden on the public while promoting safer roads.
As Malaysia prepares to introduce the new summons rate structure in 2026, motorists are reminded that paying early not only saves money but also supports a more responsible and efficient enforcement system.
