Logically, they should also be penalised for paying late.

Instead, they were offered a 50% discount on their traffic fines, which was supposed to end today. This offer has been extended to Sept 30 because of the last minute rush, according to The Star, 22/9/2005. So what else is new?

You see, this good intention may be counterproductive. It will only serve to further encourage future offenders to delay or not pay their summons because they are going to get another discount come the next Merdeka Day, anyway.

I say that all offenders must be made to pay for their offences. There should be no compromise, please.
