Step-by-step Guide to Settle your Traffic Summons easily via Maybank ATM !!!

In conjunction with the 100-Day Aspirasi Keluarage Malaysia programme which was being launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), police will be offering an 80% discount for traffic summons from Dec 9 till Dec 12, Dec 15, Dec 31 ✌

All payments can be made at the PDRM counter in KLCC, traffic summons payment counters of district police headquarters and contingent police headquarters, as well as the MyBayar portal and app throughout the period.

However, since day one:

• PDRM counters are fully crowded
• MyBayar portal is down
• MyBayar app is down

(That's why the police keep on extending the deadline to cater for the overwhelming response from traffic offenders)

Other than the above methods, you can actually settle your traffic summons easily via Maybank ATM and Pos Office nationwide. Good wor. How is it?

Top Glove's 1QFY22 Profit Slumps 92% yoy!!! What's the Outlook?

Top Glove today announced its financial results for the First Quarter ended 30 November 2021 (1QFY2022), navigating a challenging landscape to commence its new financial year 2022 with positive expectations.

Sales Volume (Quantity Sold) was flattish as it transitions closer to pre COVID levels, compared with the previous financial quarter. The Group’s net cash position as at 30 November 2021 stood at RM1.06 billion.

The softer performance was mainly attributed to:

1. Normalizing average selling prices (ASPs) and glove demand following mass vaccine rollout on a global scale,
2. Customers remained cautious on replenishing orders,
3. Raw material costs reduced at a much slower pace in comparison to glove ASPs

Wow. Looks so bleak ah.
