Traffic Offenders Better Pay Up

The Sabah Times reported today that the police will hunt all traffic offenders who have not paid their traffic fines past the due dates and arrest them.

Therefore those who have been fined by the police or the Road Transport Department better pay their fines quickly. For those of you who did not receive any tickets but are worried that you might have flouted traffic laws, you could go and check with the nearest police station by simply giving your licence plate numbers.

Those who have bought used cars especially cars with Malayan-registered licence plates, better go and check if their cars have outstanding fines. This is because there were cases in the past where people have bought used cars without realising that these cars have outstanding fines. Many of such cases involved Malayan-registered vehicles.

The North Borneo Herald believes that it is better to pay up now rather than facing embarrassment with a police arrest.

Kinki fishy rules? Why there are no website to check before the transection being done? Why it is able to back track the summons but not able to back track the previous owner and get the real offender to for pay it?
This kind of implementation has been widely used in those cyber active countries... but this so called cyber active 1M'sia boleh still not able to pace up the tech... bikin malu aja! kan?

Please understand that the government's hands are tied at the moment. What with all those anti-government people trying to ruin their image. So more resources and time are needed to get to these people. Be patient. Hahahahhaha
