> It’s counterproductive

In conjunction with JPJ’s 72nd anniversary celebrations, motorists with unsettled summonses will be given a 70% discount from April 2 to April 30. In a way, this is encouraging motorists to break traffic laws. What about motorists who have already settled their summonses? In future, motorists would be wiser and not settle their summonses promptly because our enforcement is not strict. – CT Tan

> Missing price labels

Prices are not displayed for vegetables, fish and other items at the pasar pagi and pasar malam. Prices are also very high. Consumers are helpless as there is no choice. Authorities must take action immediately. Don’t point fingers. – V. Guna, Taman Klang Jaya

> Serving justice

The Anti-Fake News Act will be a good law if it’s applied fairly and courageously to all regardless of one’s power, position, wealth or skin colour. – TC

> Where’s the money?

I refer to “BR1M held up” (SMS, April 3). Many complaints on delay of BR1M payment have been aired here. Some of my family members and I are also still waiting for the payment. Can the authority please explain the delay? – Bulbir Singh

> Cyber crimes rampant

Bank Negara and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission should do more to curb cyber crimes as criminals claiming via SMS to be representing banks are conning people to part with their money! – zilazu

> Time for new buses

We are now in 2018 yet Selangor Bus and SJ Bus are still using outdated bus models for Kepong and Selayang routes.

> Aim for 1Malaysia

The recently launched Amanah Saham Zulu for serving and retired Armed Forces personnel does not reflect the 1Malaysia spirit. – Subra

> Jobs mismatch

There’s no doubt that a lot of jobs were created in recent years but many of them pay low wages, and foreigners rather than locals are employed.

> Fair punishment

Now that Anti-Fake News Bill has been passed, what about people who smear the reputation of another person? Severe punishment must be imposed on them by the courts.

> Hit the switch

During your travels, be vigilant about turning off the lights, heater or air conditioning in your hotel room whenever you go out. Not heeding this leads to increased burning of coal and fossil fuels required to generate electricity. – KaoKaur
