our country, should reduce price ones, never reduce, should not reduce one, go reduce pulak! compare these two: we need to use petrol everyday or we need to pay summons everyday? which one should be reduced instead?
its show time again! I don't see the purpose of reducing fines actually, to encourage the public to settle all their fines? I think it's more to encouraging people to break the rules, since its cheaper?
If the queues are anything to go by, evidently the fines are not working. All high fines do is encourage policemen to ask for bribes. If given a choice between a RM 300 fine (with demerit points) or bribing a policeman with a RM 50 note, I believe many would choose the latter. But if they reduce the fine to RM 100, well, then I believe many would then choose to pay the fine, rather than feeding those dirty cops.
well, some might js avoid the trouble of having to Q to pay the compounds? still choose RM50 over RM100? maybe by then RM50 will be reduced to RM30 or RM10?
There will come a point where the policeman will consider the risk of getting caught for bribery too great for the amount of bribe.... Would you risk your job for a RM 20 bribe?
show time, once again. Now they wanna make a U-turn. Let's just sit back n watch "The Cabinet has made an about-turn on the lowering of traffic fines as it is felt that the move may not send the right message to road-users and will not deter them from committing traffic offences." http://www.thestaronline.com/news/story.asp?file=/2006/9/7/nation/15353969&sec=nation&focus=1
