KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 31 — Malaysians may soon be able to use online methods to admit their guilt for traffic offences and traffic summons in court cases and to pay the fines digitally for such cases under the Malaysian judiciary’s plans for 2021, the chief justice said today.
Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat pointed out that more than one million court cases involving traffic offences were registered in Malaysia in 2019, and that a similarly high number of at least 800,000 such court cases were recorded this year.
