what happens if you say you left your i.c at home, surely they have no power to search you
or better still just ran off very fast, will they give chase?
Well they'll call the police most likely.
Not having your IC with you is an offense already. And they'll probably chase and follow you until the police arrive.
Almost everytime i heard people kena saman because of smoking, it's usually in Kuantan.
Anyway, you should call any pejabat kesihatan daerah, if you live in Selangor, can go to Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah in Selangor too.
Call them and ask to check if your name is in their system or not.
Because it takes some time from the moment u kena saman until your name appear in the system.
If the officer said that your name is in the system, then you ask the officer how to apply for pengurangan.
Some Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah, the director won't layan pengurangan for saman rokok.
But some Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah will give u pengurangan with no fuss at all.
BTW, u can't pay your saman if it's not in their system yet.
They will ask you to come again next time.
Personally, I've kena sama twice.
Both at R&R in Kuantan.
I start to loathe going there for work.
The first time, I checked with the office in Petaling Jaya via phone call, he said his director won't approve any pengurangan saman rokok.
So I asked where can get pengurangan, and he told me to go to Pejabat Kesihatan in Klang.
And I went to Klang and get discount, I think rm80 kot after discount.
And the second saman, also at R&R Kuantan.
I waited until now.
My name hasn't been put in the list.
