When the Road Transport Department (JPJ)’s mySIKAP system went down, the crowd thronged the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre exhibition hall in order to pay the discounted JPJ summonses in person.

The JPJ and Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) discount counters at KLCC are immediately closed starting this afternoon (10 December).

The police will inform the public how to go about paying the summonses soon.

Khairy added that it was regrettable and disappointing that the official government event broke the standard operating procedures and the rules set.

Netizens have also called out the double standards to ban the Kavadi procession for Thaipusam, and the Chingay celebrations in conjunction with the Chinese New Year.

They also brought up the issue of receiving numerous SMS-es to promote government events.
