KUALA LUMPUR — Starting Oct 1, Kuala Lumpur police will cease issuing warnings and move to full enforcement against traffic offenders, city police chief Comm Datuk Fadil Marsus announced.
He said the advocacy stage of the ongoing compliance operation, launched on Sept 6, will conclude, with officers shifting to issuing summonses, The Star reported.
“From Oct 1 onwards, no more warnings will be given. Instead, we will take firm and immediate action against traffic violators,” Fadil was quoted as saying.
Between Sept 6 and 25, police issued more than 60,000 warning notices for various offences during the campaign’s initial phase.
The operation is intended to raise awareness, enhance road safety, and ease congestion in high-traffic zones such as Jalan Loke Yew, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Jalan Bukit Bintang, and Jalan Tun Razak.
The majority of offences recorded were illegal parking and obstruction, while other common violations included disobeying traffic signs (2,489), using fancy number plates (927), and not wearing helmets (407).
Car drivers received the highest number of warnings (4,664), followed closely by motorcyclists (4,587) and pedestrians (1,224).
