NILAI: There will be no discounts for compounds issued by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) during the Hari Raya season, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke. “Our intention is not to make their lives miserable but we need to send the message across that we are serious about road safety and reducing fatalities. “We want to educate motorists on the importance of obeying traffic laws,” he said after launching a road safety campaign in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri. There were 6,284 road fatalities last year, which was lower than the 6,740 cases reported in 2017. Loke urged the police and JPJ to increase their enforcement on federal, town and rural roads during the Hari Raya period.
