Traffic Fines Reduced?????

Lower traffic fines in Malaysia as announced by the M'sian police force yesterday. Why, you may asked? My good guess could be that the top 2 Malaysian government officials may not have settled their fines yet (as reported earlier here and here). Maybe it was reduced to accommodate our top 2 government officials as they earn government salaries only. It's a good offer for both of themFto settle the traffic summonses now.

The best part was that the Transport Ministry said it was not consulted over the reduction of traffic fines. One of Transport Ministry's functions is to coordinate with the various government departments and agencies, including the police, to implement measures to reduce road accidents. Simple co-ordination but ended up like this?????

* Latest update - The Cabinet has decided to postpone the reduction of traffic fines by the police (read more in 6 Sept, STAR)
