Malaysia’s Road Transport (Amendment) Bill 2026 proposes significant increases to minimum fines for various traffic violations. Currently set at RM300, the minimum penalty will rise to RM500 under the proposed legislation. The bill was presented for its first reading in Parliament today, signaling the start of the legislative process. Details regarding specific offences subject to the increased fines have not yet been released, but the move indicates a government effort to strengthen road safety enforcement. The amendment aims to deter traffic offences through harsher financial consequences for offenders. Further debate and revisions are expected before the bill is enacted into law. This represents a substantial increase, potentially impacting a large number of drivers.
