Recently, Bukit Aman advised Malaysians to refrain from using agents to pay their traffic summons. According to PDRM, some people have been cheated by third parties they had hired to help pay their summons. On top of losing their money, these people were still in the cops? bad books for having outstanding traffic summonses.

So, now you must be thinking 'if we can?t hire people to settle our samans for us, then, how do we settle the samans,? right? Well, first you have to check if you have any summons. And thanks to the internet, it?s really easy to do these days as you don?t have to physically go to your local police station and ask anymore. Even crime fighters must keep up with the times, ma.

1) Apps

Yes, there are apps for this too!

There are a number of apps out there, but the ones we found to be most reliable are Malaysia Police Summons by Maxim and the MyEg app.

Malaysia Police Summons by Maxsim

To check your summons by using this app, all you have to do is key in your IC number and it will display any offences that you have. Click on them and details, such as time and date of the offence, amount payable and whether or not your vehicle has been blacklisted, will appear.

The downsides of this app is that you can't pay your summons on it, and this app is only available for Apple devices. But Samsung-ians need not fret. This is why we provided two options!

MyEG

You'll first need to register an account with MyEg before you proceed. Once you've registered, simply log in and click 'Check and Pay PDRM Summons.' Then, key in your details and your outstanding summons will be displayed. The best thing about the MyEg app is that you can pay your summons directly through the app too!

But this app also has it's downside... it isn't available for iPhones ?

2. SMS

Yes, there are apps but crime fighters don?t have WhatsApp yet.

SMS to POLIS<space>SAMAN<space>IC number OR vehicle number to 15888. So example: POLIS SAMAN 991122013344

The response will look something like this:

If you want a more canggih option, they can send you more details to your email if you text POLIS<space>SAMAN<space>IC number OR vehicle number<space>email address. Example: POLIS SAMAN 991122013344 yourname@whatever.com

But of course, you can't pay your summons through SMS just yet. Plus, by SMSing, you?ll incur telco charges (RM0.20 cent per text message) and we know how cheap we Malaysians are. So the third option:

3. Online

Everything, including checking AND paying your summons, can be done online these days. The sites recommended by PDRM are MyEG (myeg.com.my) and the government-linked portal RILEK (rilek.com.my).

To check your summons on these websites, you?ll have to register first. Once you?ve registered, log in and check your summons by clicking the ?PDRM enquiry & payment? tile for MyEg or the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) tile for RILEK.

Then, simply pick which identifier you?d like to use and enter the relevant details.

If you have outstanding summons, they?ll be shown at the bottom of the page, together with the fine amount, details and a button prompting for payment. Unfortunately, we don't have screenshots ?, but both sites display this information similarly.

Once you?ve paid, you can print out the receipt for future reference. And you?re done!

So easy right? So, no more excuses for not paying your summonses!
