TAWAU: The police have been urged to provide facilities for motorists to pay their traffic summonses by cheques.
Kalabakan member of parliament Datuk Seri Abdul Ghapur Salleh said it was necessary, especially when the summonses to be paid were high.
“Even though the payment can be done online, not everyone has the convenience of the Internet, especially those in the rural areas,” he said.
According to him, it was not easy to bring a big amount of cash to the police traffic counters.
Recently, Ghapur could not pay 19 traffic summonses worth RM7,000 by cheque.
“We hope the police will take note of this for the convenience of road users,” he said yesterday.
