Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is offering a discount for traffic compound fines throughout February in conjunction with the Federal Territories’ (FT) Day which falls on Feb 1, Federal Territories and Urban Well-being Minister Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin said.
The discount, which will see the compound reduced to RM30, will be for those issued by DBKL before March 1 last year, he said after launching the “Fly the Flag” campaign in conjunction with FT Day.
The average amount of fines issued for offences such as double parking, obstruction of traffic and other similar offence is RM100.
Other goodies offered by DBKL during the celebration include a free-of-charge usage of multipurpose halls run by the City Hall on weekends throughout February, except for wedding reception.
Similar facilities are also extended for the use of futsal courts as well as lawn bowl and rugby fields.
A total of 50,000 flags will be distributed in all three FTs — Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan — in conjunction with the campaign.
Meanwhile, Putrajaya Corporation president Tan Sri Samsudin Osman said the agency would offer free coupons to the public to visit public parks in the administrative capital and a 30 per cent discount to FT MyKad holders for the Putrajaya Lake Cruise.
“There will also be a guided tour to attractions in Putrajaya on Nadi Putra buses, free of charge, on weekends throughout February, starting from i-Centre, Dataran Putra,” he said.
The public in Labuan, meanwhile, will have the opportunity to use public facilities such as futsal courts, multipurpose halls and lawn bowl fields for two weeks in February.
