Kelvinlev Neutral Newbie January 2, 2012 Share January 2, 2012 Hi all, A happy new year to all! Would like to ask on behalf a friend who went in to Malaysia few days ago, on the way to my customs, think he travel on the 3rd lane, meant for bus and larger vehicle and was stop by " white uniform" police, he wasn't not sure if its TP or police. Anyway, he received a summon, no fine amount indicated and the offence was "POTONG" (cut lane, I suppose), the strange thing was, like I mentioned earlier, no fine amount indicated, and the summon stated for him to go to court by a given date, 1/2/2012. Anyone encountered this before? I have try to check online according to his summon serial no but seems no website available for this. Firstly, don't flame my friend (though seems like well deserved) as the above offence deems flammable by most bros here which was "POTONG", right now, would like to be advised of what to expect or do in action for this summon. Lastly, appreciate and thanks for any advice given here. Regards ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastly, appreciate and thanks for any advice given here. Regards If he received summons, then I guess they got his particulars. If so and he does not go to court, I guess he will be "wanted". Well, see what's the ruling of the court lor. Better prepare some money before going to court.... You may have better luck asking what the summons entails in a Malaysian car forum, but confirmed will be flamed especially since your friend likely a Singapore car.

I also kena before, usually these kinda fine are compoundable, payable at any of their police station. But if you want to fight your case, then you can go to the court at the said time and date and argue your case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver_blade Turbocharged January 2, 2012 Share January 2, 2012 TS, just check online on the status. If can pay online, just pay and keep the receipt. If it say need to attend court, just go with cash. I have a friend who kenna a court case too...he was surprised cos usually such offences if just paying fine at the police station. But he went to court, do a bit of waiting, asked for a translator... plead guilty and pay fine after that. Case closed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such s getting out of trouble Yup, be like the NZ guy who damaged the taxi then run off while on bail... he willingly avoid entering singapore again, so nothing can be done to him. TS can advise your fren to avoid entering malaysia (for rest of life) then can ignore the summons! Seriously, what's the use of changing passport?? His name will be on their database anyway, and you can't use false name for passport here unless asking for more trouble... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleefho 1st Gear January 2, 2012 Share January 2, 2012 no big deal, juz thrash it. no way they can trace to you too. at least that is wat i did. however try not to drive into malaysia in the same car as they will stop u based on license plate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you sell off that car, it is confined to this little island. Unless TS has multiple cars, in which case, loaded enough so might as well pay the court fine and avoid potential trouble!
