Hey all. I've been hearing some news about how parking summons in Malaysia don't affect whether you're able to renew your roadtax or not?

Is this true? Is there a source I can check this out with?

Better pay..
not now, but maybe a few month later ada sangkut..

Is this because u worried the election PKR win? lol

well i dont know if it affects it or not, but i got a summon once in 2010 for illegal parking. then i forgot to pay, and it somehow ended up in the list of summons accumulated by my car (alongside speeding, langgar lampu merah etc). so...

it will end up tagged to ur car under traffic summons;
and if u dont clear ur traffic summons, u cant renew ur roadtax;
hence i believe if u dont pay the parking summons, u probably wont be able to renew it.

Really?! Man that has me worried. What if u have parking violations in different states? How does that affect it? Could u provide me a good source for information?

You can try email various states and ask the officials there what will they plan to do to you if you refuse to pay.

summons i think must pay.. but durin in sabah i did not pay their parking tickets.. lolz..

See the summon from where first.
Usually if parking summon by local council..i also bo layan la.
But if traffic police or JPJ..definitely nid to pay up or road tax kenot renew

Ya see....that's my issue. I have a friend that says local summons are used as paper for when you check your engine oil.

No la..got such thing meh..?
Only got check if u wanna do some reno or built a new house only.
Anything that got to do with council la

if summon from pdrm / jpj if u dun pay u kenot renew road tax.
pulis see u drive car no road tax then they give u more summons.

if summon from dbkl / mbpj / mpsj etc if u dun pay they might send you a red colored letter threatening you to appear before court if you continue to not pay the summons

my summon was in skudai (johor). my car was registered to my home address in shah alam. it's the same.

With MPS, if you wait long enough, eventually they send you an offer, 50% off if you pay before .....

OTOH, I had a friend who collected lots of parking summons from MPS. Never paid a single one. After about 10 pieces or so, they finally came and put a clamp on her front right wheel. Then have to pay ...

PS: they didn't come specifically just for her. We know this because when she looked down the road, there were quite a few other cars with the big yellow wheel clamp.

local council parking summons are not linked to jpj (which renews road tax) .... yes you can get lots of red letters from councils but right up to this point, they have not been able to come to terms on how to go about enforcing this ..

i have stacks of these council summons.

an article also appeared in the star some time ago that in fact many places some parking zones were not properly gazetted and in actual fact local councils had no right to issue summons ...

i am NOT saying you should not pay ... be a good citizen ...

depend of area

so far i know MPPJ, DBKL and MPSJ have the right to tow your car away due to outstanding summon issued by them

these 3 places have their law gazetted hence they have the power to do so

other place not sure

PDRM i dont pay. no problem so far.

hmm they have waran tangkap rite~ will they really come n tangkap u?

the authorities really no common sense one. discount should be offered to those who pay early and not offered to those who pay late. really stoopid. punish those who pay promptly and reward those who pay late.

Bro....gotta say.....I like your answer the most hahaha.

jpj/polis = renew roadtax headache but they'll let u take for 6 months(experience)

Majlis perbandaran = no need to pay, till ur car(touchwood) gets towed, cuz u gotta pay all to clear.(no money means hw?? :s)
(bad experience)
tow truck fella so good, tow my car n bring me(tumpang) to the depot summore, no need to go report polis for stolen car n no need to pay for cab.. but pay summon!!)

morale of the story: park properly n pay for ticket.
