Daily Express15 October, 2008
Sandakan: The Road Transport Department (RTD) will be lenient with minor traffic offenders from the transportation sector.
Federation of Sabah Lorry Transportation Association (FSLTA) President, Steven Chua Pui Ming, disclosed this following a dialogue with RTD Director-General Datuk Solah on Monday.
Describing the meeting at a hotel here as fruitful, Chua said minor traffic offenders from the transportation sector would be given a grace period to rectify their shortcomings.
Prior to this, FSLTA had a meeting with Transport Minister Datuk Ong Tee Keat who was told about the predicament faced by lorry drivers in the State.
"This will help lessen the burden of our members especially on the hefty traffic summonses," Chua said, adding FSLTA will push for an equal right on the Vehicle Gross Weight (BDM).
