The Road Transport Department (JPJ) is offering a special compound rate of RM150 for 3 offences for 6 months, starting today, January 3, 2025.

Malaysian Transport Minister, YB Anthony Loke said it involves 3 types of JPJ summons notices, namely the Automatic Awareness Security System (AwAS) summons (Summon 53A), the Investigation Interview Notice (114) and the Stamped Summons Notice/JPJ(P)23 (115).

All three usually have a compound rate of RM300. So we are giving a special compound rate starting tomorrow, January 3, for six months so that they can settle this compound.

Because there are two million outstanding AwAS summons… and there are indeed restrictions on those who do not settle AwAS summons, if they do not settle the summons they cannot renew their driving licence or motor vehicle licence,” he said.

Loke said payments can be made through various channels including at JPJ counters, public portals, JPJ kiosks, JPJ mobile counters and the myJPJ application.

He said the special compound payment cannot be made through the MyEG channel and at Pos Malaysia.

Meanwhile, he said the collection of demerit points will be temporarily suspended from tomorrow until June 30.

Loke said during that period, the JPJ Enforcement Division will conduct a review of the method of implementing the Demerit Points System.

Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) menawarkan kadar kompaun RM150 khas bagi 3 kesalahan selama 6 bulan, bermula hari ini, 3 Januari 2025.

Menteri Pengangkutan Malaysia, YB Anthony Loke berkata ia melibatkan 3 jenis notis saman JPJ iaitu Saman Sistem Keselamatan Kesedaran Automatik (AwAS) (Saman 53A), Notis Temu Siasat (114) dan Notis Saman Tampal/JPJ(P)23 (115).

Ketiga-tiganya biasanya kadar kompaunnya ialah RM300. Jadi kita memberikan satu kadar kompaun khas bermula esok 3 Jan untuk selama enam bulan supaya mereka menyelesaikan kompaun ini.

Sebab saman AwAS ada dua juta saman yang tertunggak… dan memang ada sekatan kepada mereka yang tidak menyelesaikan saman AwAS, sekiranya mereka tidak menyelesaikan saman itu mereka tidak boleh memperbaharui lesen memandu ataupun lesen kenderaan motor mereka,” katanya.

Loke berkata pembayaran boleh dilakukan melalui pelbagai saluran antaranya di kaunter JPJ, portal awam, kios JPJ, kaunter mobile JPJ serta aplikasi myJPJ.

Pembayaran kompaun khas itu katanya tidak boleh dilakukan melalui saluran MyEG dan di Pos Malaysia.

Sementara itu, beliau berkata pengumpulan mata demerit akan dihentikan sementara mulai esok hingga 30 Jun depan.

Loke berkata dalam tempoh itu, Bahagian Penguat Kuasa JPJ akan menjalankan kajian semula terhadap kaedah pelaksanaan Sistem Mata Demerit.

Sebuah Tesla Cybertruck meletup di luar Trump Towers di Las Vegas. Sekurang-kurangnya seorang, iaitu pemandu kenderaan itu, disahkan terbunuh manakala tujuh lagi mengalami kecederaan ringan, menurut Sheriff Kevin McMahill dari Jabatan Polis Metropolitan Las Vegas berkata.

Dia menggelar letupan itu sebagai “insiden terpencil” dan berkata tidak ada tanda-tanda bahawa ia mempunyai kaitan dengan ISIS.

Sheriff itu juga berkata tong petrol, tong minyak kem, dan mortar bunga api besar ditemui di belakang kenderaan selepas letupan, yang berlaku kira-kira 15 saat selepas kenderaan itu berhenti di hadapan bangunan. Namun masih tidak jelas bagaimana bahan letupan itu dimulakan, katanya.

Cybertruck, model 2024, berhenti ke pintu masuk kaca hotel, kata McMahill. Asap mula keluar dari kenderaan itu, dan kemudian letupan besar berlaku.

Beliau menambah lagi bahawa trak itu telah disewa di Colorado dan tiba di Las Vegas pada pagi Rabu. Ia nampaknya telah disewa melalui aplikasi sewa kereta P2P Turo. Ia adalah aplikasi yang sama yang dikatakan sumber digunakan oleh penyerang New Orleans untuk menyewa pikap yang digunakannya. Dalam satu kenyataan, jurucakap Turo berkata: “Kami secara aktif bekerjasama dengan pihak berkuasa penguatkuasaan undang-undang ketika mereka menyiasat kedua-dua insiden. Kami tidak percaya bahawa sama ada penyewa yang terlibat dalam serangan Las Vegas dan New Orleans mempunyai latar belakang jenayah yang akan mengenal pasti mereka sebagai ancaman keselamatan.

Letupan berlaku beberapa jam selepas serangan maut di New Orleans, apabila seorang lelaki dengan sengaja memandu sebuah trak pikap ke arah orang ramai yang bersuka ria di Bourbon Street, membunuh sekurang-kurangnya 15 orang. FBI berkata “senjata dan potensi IED,” atau alat letupan improvisasi, ditemui di dalam kenderaannya, yang mengibarkan bendera ISIS.

Dalam siaran di X, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Tesla, Elon Musk berkata “Seluruh pasukan kanan Tesla sedang menyiasat perkara ini sekarang. Akan menyiarkan maklumat lanjut sebaik sahaja kami mengetahui apa-apa. Kami tidak pernah melihat perkara seperti ini.

Dalam catatan lain beberapa jam kemudian, dia berkata letupan itu “disebabkan oleh bunga api yang sangat besar dan/atau bom yang dibawa di atas katil Cybertruck yang disewa dan tidak berkaitan dengan kenderaan itu sendiri.

Pada tahun lalu, Musk menjadi penderma utama dan penasihat rapat kepada Trump, dengan jutawan itu ditugaskan untuk mengetuai Jabatan Kecekapan Kerajaan Trump atau DOGE. Musk, bersama ketua bersama DOGE, Vivek Ramaswamy, menyasarkan untuk mengurangkan berbilion-bilion dalam perbelanjaan persekutuan.

Kes itu kini disiasat sebagai kemungkinan tindakan keganasan.

A Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside Trump Towers in Las Vegas. At least one person, the vehicle’s occupant, was confirmed to have been killed while another seven suffered minor injuries, according to Sheriff Kevin McMahill of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said.

He called the explosion “an isolated incident” and said there is no indication that it was linked to ISIS.

The Sheriff also said gasoline canisters, camp fuel canisters and large firework mortars were found in the back of the vehicle after the explosion, which occurred about 15 seconds after the vehicle pulled in front of the building. It’s still unclear how the explosives were ignited, he said.

The Cybertruck, a 2024 model, pulled up to the hotel’s glass entrance doors, McMahill said. Smoke began emerging from the vehicle, and then a large explosion occurred.

He added further that the truck was rented in Colorado and arrived in Las Vegas on Wednesday morning. It appears to have been rented via the Turo peer-to-peer car rentals app. It is the same app that a source said was used by the New Orleans attacker to rent the pickup he used. In a statement, a Turo spokesperson said: “We are actively partnering with law enforcement authorities as they investigate both incidents. We do not believe that either renter involved in the Las Vegas and New Orleans attacks had a criminal background that would have identified them as a security threat.

The explosion occurred hours after a deadly New Orleans attack, when a man intentionally drove a pickup truck into a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street, killing at least 15 people. The FBI said “weapons and a potential IED,” or improvised explosive device, were found in his vehicle, which was flying an ISIS flag.

In a post on X, Tesla CEO, Elon Musk said The whole Tesla senior team is investigating this matter right now. Will post more information as soon as we learn anything. We’ve never seen anything like this.

In another post a few hours later, he said the blast “was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself.

In the past year, Musk became a major donor and close adviser to Trump, with the billionaire tasked to head up Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Musk, along with his co-leader of DOGE, Vivek Ramaswamy, are aiming to cut billions in federal spending.

The case is now being investigated as a possible act of terrorism.

Kerja-kerja menggali untuk Terowong Tianshan Shengli, terowong lebuh raya terpanjang di dunia, telah selesai pada pagi Isnin. Penyiapan itu akan memudahkan pembukaan jalan pintas baharu yang menghubungkan bahagian selatan dan utara Wilayah Autonomi Uygur Xinjiang Barat Laut China, lapor Agensi Berita Xinhua pada Isnin.

Terowong sepanjang 22.13 kilometer dinamakan “Shengli,” yang bermaksud “kemenangan” dalam bahasa Cina, akan mengurangkan masa yang diperlukan untuk memandu merentasi bahagian tengah Pergunungan Tianshan daripada beberapa jam kepada kira-kira 20 minit sebaik sahaja beroperasi, menurut Xinhua.

Rekabentuk projek mega itu menampilkan terowong dua arah, empat lorong dengan kelajuan reka bentuk 100 km/j. Ia terletak di kedalaman terpencil Pergunungan Tianshan, pada ketinggian purata lebih 3,000 meter, lapor Kumpulan Media China (CMG) pada Isnin.

Sepanjang empat tahun yang lalu, lebih daripada 3,000 pekerja telah bekerja secara berterusan dalam persekitaran altitud tinggi, rendah oksigen, sambil menangani pelbagai cabaran dan risiko geologi seperti perpecahan batu, rupa bentuk bumi besar dalam batu lembut, dan runtuhan batu, menurut laporan CMG.

Projek ini menghadapi keadaan persekitaran yang teruk dan geologi yang sangat kompleks. Biasanya, ia akan mengambil masa kira-kira 72 bulan untuk menyiapkan terowong menggunakan kaedah konvensional. Bagaimanapun, pembina berjaya menyiapkannya dalam masa 52 bulan sahaja, menurut CMG.

Terowong Tianshan Shengli ialah projek utama Lebuhraya Urumqi-Yuli, yang berjalan dari ibu kota wilayah Urumqi di utara Xinjiang ke Daerah Yuli di selatan Xinjiang. Lebuh raya itu dijangka siap sepenuhnya dan dibuka kepada lalu lintas pada 2025. Masa memandu antara dua lokasi itu akan dikurangkan daripada kira-kira tujuh jam kepada lebih tiga jam, menurut Xinhua.

Tunnelling work for the the Tianshan Shengli Tunnel, the world’s longest expressway tunnel, has been completed on Monday morning. The completion will facilitate the opening of a new shortcut linking southern and northern parts of Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the Xinhua News Agency reported on Monday.

The 22.13-kilometer tunnel, “Shengli,” which means “victory” in Chinese, will reduce the time it takes to drive across the middle section of the Tianshan Mountains from several hours to about 20 minutes once operational, according to Xinhua.

The mega project’s design features a dual-direction, four-lane tunnel with a design speed of 100 km/h. It is located in the remote depths of the Tianshan Mountains, at an average altitude of over 3,000 meters, the China Media Group (CMG) reported on Monday.

Over the past four years, more than 3,000 workers have toiled continuously in high-altitude, low-oxygen environments, while tackling numerous geological challenges and risks such as rock bursts, large deformations in soft rock, and collapses, according to the CMG report.

The project faces severe environmental conditions and highly complex geology. Typically, it would take about 72 months to complete the tunnel using conventional methods. However, the builders successfully completed it in just 52 months, according to CMG.

The Tianshan Shengli Tunnel is a key project of the Urumqi-Yuli Expressway, which runs from the regional capital of Urumqi in northern Xinjiang to Yuli County in southern Xinjiang. The expressway is expected to be fully completed and open to traffic in 2025. The driving time between the two locations will be reduced from about seven hours to just over three hours, according to Xinhua.

The Computerized Vehicle Inspection Centre (Puspakom) confirmed that two of its employees from the Wangsa Maju branch have been summoned to give statements to the Road Transport Department (JPJ), today.

Its Chief Executive Officer, Mahmood Razak Bahman, however, did not elaborate on why the two employees were ordered to give statements to the JPJ Enforcement Department.

Puspakom stressed that the staff involved will not be protected from any internal disciplinary action, if any misconduct is proven.

To ensure the integrity of Puspakom’s inspection, the company will not hesitate to take appropriate action against the staff involved as provided for under the terms and conditions of the employment contract, including suspension or dismissal,” he said in a statement to the press, yesterday.

Apart from that, Mahmood also confirmed that a vehicle inspected at the Wangsa Maju branch was seized by JPJ for using a foreign driver without a valid driving license.

Earlier, JPJ was reported to have conducted simultaneous operations at all Puspakom branches nationwide yesterday, to ensure that every vehicle inspected at the facility complies with the set standards.

Among the offences detected by lorry drivers in PUSPAKOM’s Surprise Operation was the use of worn and unsafe dipped tyres among heavy vehicles, despite being aware that they were at risk of leaking at any time.

Meanwhile, Mahmood said that full cooperation would be given to JPJ which was conducting surprise inspections at all Puspakom branches nationwide, today.

He said Puspakom also welcomed the enforcement action on the company’s branches, aimed at ensuring that inspection operations are carried out in accordance with the standard operating procedures (SOP) set.

This step will help in efforts to instill road safety practices in the country.

The collaboration between Puspakom and JPJ is believed to strengthen efforts to improve road safety levels and preserve the integrity of the country’s transportation system.

Puspakom is always committed to ensuring that all vehicles inspected meet the set safety requirements.

This surprise inspection is part of JPJ’s ongoing efforts to ensure safety and compliance with laws relating to vehicles on the road.

We fully support the initiative to ensure that all inspection procedures are carried out transparently and in accordance with the standards set by the authorities,” he said.

Pusat Pemeriksaan Kenderaan Berkomputer (Puspakom) mengesahkan dua kakitangannya dari cawangan Wangsa Maju telah dipanggil untuk memberi keterangan kepada Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ), hari ini.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutifnya, Mahmood Razak Bahman, bagaimanapun tidak memperincikan sebab kedua-dua kakitangan itu diarah memberi keterangan kepada Jabatan Penguatkuasaan JPJ.

Puspakom menegaskan kakitangan terbabit tidak akan dilindungi daripada sebarang tindakan disiplin dalaman, sekiranya terbukti ada salah laku.

Bagi memastikan integriti pemeriksaan Puspakom, syarikat tidak akan teragak-agak mengambil tindakan sewajarnya terhadap kakitangan terbabit seperti diperuntukkan di bawah terma dan syarat kontrak pekerjaan, termasuk penggantungan atau pembuangan kerja,” katanya dalam kenyataan kepada pihak akhbar, semalam.

Selain daripada itu, Mahmood juga mengesahkan sebuah kenderaan yang diperiksa di cawangan Wangsa Maju disita JPJ kerana menggunakan pemandu warga asing tanpa lesen memandu sah.

Terdahulu, JPJ dilapor mengadakan operasi secara serentak ke semua cawangan Puspakom di seluruh negara semalam, bagi memastikan setiap kenderaan diperiksa di fasiliti itu mematuhi standard ditetapkan.

Antara kesalahan dikesan dilakukan pemandu lori dalam Op Mengejut PUSPAKOM ialah penggunaan tayar celup yang uzur dan tidak selamat dalam kalangan kenderaan berat, meskipun menyedari ia berisiko bocor pada bila-bila masa.

Sementara itu, Mahmood berkata, kerjasama penuh akan diberi kepada JPJ yang menjalankan pemeriksaan mengejut di semua cawangan Puspakom di seluruh negara, hari ini.

Katanya, Puspakom juga mengalu-alukan tindakan penguatkuasaan ke atas cawangan syarikat berkenaan, bertujuan memastikan operasi pemeriksaan dijalankan mengikut prosedur operasi standard (SOP) ditetapkan.

Langkah ini akan membantu usaha membudayakan amalan keselamatan jalan raya di negara ini.

Kerjasama Puspakom dan JPJ ini dipercayai akan mengukuhkan usaha meningkatkan tahap keselamatan jalan raya dan memelihara integriti sistem pengangkutan negara.

Puspakom sentiasa komited memastikan semua kenderaan diperiksa memenuhi syarat keselamatan ditetapkan.

Pemeriksaan mengejut ini adalah sebahagian daripada usaha berterusan JPJ untuk memastikan keselamatan dan pematuhan undang-undang berkaitan kenderaan di jalan raya.

Kami menyokong penuh inisiatif untuk memastikan segala prosedur pemeriksaan dilakukan dengan telus dan mengikut piawaian ditetapkan pihak berkuasa,” katanya.
