He said for this purpose, he had directed RTD Director-General Nadzri Siron to have a meeting with the police and SPAD immediately to discuss an integrated system to allow the agencies to share information on traffic offenders.

He said the move was important to ensure more effective enforcement of road transport laws and to avoid overlapping jurisdiction among the three agencies.

“Currently, the three agencies are working separately. As such when there are outstanding traffic summonses from the police, the RTD is not aware and the department cannot help the police to blacklist the drivers’ licences.

“If the police do issue a summons, it has to be submitted to the RTD for us to blacklist the driver’s licence,” he told reporters after launching Bentongtuition.com here, today.

Meanwhile, Liow, who is also Bentong MP, said currently it was not necessary to increase the frequency for mandatory periodic inspections on public transport vehicles by the Computerised Vehicle Inspection Centre (Puspakom).

He said the twice-yearly inspections were sufficient to ensure safety and quality service.
