Fast-lane, young man on the rush
The Son-in-Law, who is reported by Malaysiakini as someone being highly regarded as the de facto prime minister, has a total of 17 traffic summonses unpaid. Six of them are for speeding.
The summonses, since March last year, work up to RM5,100. Based on a hefty discount, the amount payable to the national coffers is RM1,740.
According to records obtained from rilek.com.my, Malaysiakini says the Son-in-Law often uses a vehicle with the registration plate KJ10Q. It is believed to be a black SUV, which has been spotted during recent by-elections.
Two other vehicles in the list also have unique registration plates namely WNA 13 and WMT 8001.
Fast-lane, and still on the rush? Or a role model for the Mat Rempit?

Hi Jeff:
Hi discounts for these hi-profile people, ON WHAT RATIONALE?
Shouldn't these politicians --especially those Ministers once highlioghted also getting hiuge discounts and for lengthy periods of non-payments for similar traffic offences -- be penalised with "heavier" fines and not the reverse?
I was ordinary mortal earning B&B with some freelance writing, and some years ago had to pay RM300X2 for two socalled offences -- 1 for beatting traffic lighs when I was alreadin the yellow box when it turned amber; the other time "unknowing" that my road tax had expired by four days (the second I admit I was wrong:).
Do I have a case citing all these "fine examples" like KJ and precedent ministers for a rebate appeal? Jeff, can use your lawyer ah?:) -- 30%-lah off my successfool appeal,greAtings f. Desperate Des!

By having 6 speeding summons, its more then enough to get his driving license suspended under JPJ's Kejara system.
Wonder does he have special privilege?

I have long came to a conclusion from all his rumblings, grumblings and bubblings that KJ is a hypocite too. To call him the de facto PM, probably angered him as I believed that he think he is the PM from his actions! But then again since when we can trust politicians? They swing left right centre and every where and land when they see gravies.

Karl: KEJARA? What KEJARA system do we have? JPJ is the most flip flop department in Malaysia. Look at its policy and whatever guidelines on tinted windows. Blowing hot and cold in the same breath. Now talking cock abt taking actions against cars with xenon lights!

In 2005 two police officers are convicted on driving charges after a high-speed convoy in July 2004 carried the New Zealand Prime Minister, Helen Clarke to Christchurch airport. Clarke claimed to be unaware of the speed involved, but most New Zealanders are skeptical!
In 1987 the then Prime Minister David Lange was fined for speeding and the news appeared front page.
In a democratic country, no one should be above the law.
What about Malaysia????

In Malaysia, with the amount of money the fat cats have and also the lack of transparency in the law dealing with 'wild politicians', you'll have them literally walking scott off free.
