Malaysia's Road Transport Department (JPJ) has issued a stark reminder to motorists: unpaid traffic summonses are no longer just a legal inconvenience. Those who continue to ignore them may soon find themselves unable to renew their driving licence or road tax, which in turn makes them ineligible for the BUDI95 petrol subsidy. Because the programme requires motorists to hold a valid licence, any form of blacklisting immediately cuts off access.
