Netizens were quick to point out that they would have to settle their outstanding fines before renewing their road tax.
In response, the public has called upon Transport Minister Anthony Loke and the Road Transport Department of Malaysia (JPJ) to provide clarity on this issue.

This incident has highlighted growing concerns among Malaysians about the lack of consequences for those who break traffic laws, especially for those in positions of power or those who have the financial means to pay their fines without facing any consequences.
It is essential that the authorities take measures to hold everyone accountable for their actions on the road, regardless of their socioeconomic status or position of power.
