KUALA LUMPUR: Payment for discounted summonses in states with the weekend falling on Friday will end on Dec 29 while those with weekends on Sunday will end on Dec 30, says Comm Datuk Mat Kassim Karim.

       The Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) director said the police called on the public to take advantage of the highest compound reduction offer to settle their summonses soon and not at the last minute.

       He said following this, all payment counters would be operating during office hours from 8.30am to 4.30pm, except on weekends and public holidays.

       "The setting of the operating hours is due to the different weekends between the states as well as in compliance with the receipts management procedures for the closing of the final accounts in 2021 by the Accountant-General's Department," he said in a statement Thursday.

       Police earlier announced that the discount period for traffic compound payments, which should have ended on Dec 12, had been extended to Dec 31. - Bernama
