BANGI: Twenty-eight companies listed by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) as having the highest number of outstanding summonses have settled 34,371 summonses costing RM6.2 million, JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said.
The companies, 11 commercial goods companies and 17 bus operators, had reached out to the department after Transport Minister Anthony Loke gave them a two-week grace period beginning June 25 to settle their outstanding summonses, he added.
“So for the JPJ, we assist by issuing the latest records and how to settle them immediately. We do see all companies wishing to settle their outstanding issues,” he said at the media conference of the 2025 JPJ Family Day at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) sports centre here today.

“If it remains unsettled, the JPJ will blacklist the vehicles under the companies. There are those that we have already blacklisted as they did not respond to us,” he added.
He also said that commercial goods companies and bus operators were eligible for the RM150 compound rate that applies to all vehicles issued with Automated Awareness Safety System (AWAS) summonses.
“Companies with such summonses qualify for the same offer and we have announced on July 1 that the offer is extended to Dec 31 for three categories, the AWAS from Oct 2018 till now, Notice 114 (interview notice) and Notice 115 (request for driver details) starting from 2023,” he added.
