Motorists will NOT be offered discounts to settle their JPJ road summonses.  

The Transport Minister says JPJ summonses are meant to educate the public on the importance of road safety, adding that discounts might imply a sense of leniency.  

Anthony Loke said this amid complaints about a lack of discounts for JPJ summonses.  

He adds that other agencies, like the police, may have other considerations when offering their discounts.
