KOTA KINABALU: A total of 67 summons cases pertaining to the City Provisions of Parking Places By-laws 2003 were mentioned in the Kota Kinabalu City Hall court recently.

According to City Hall’s director of enforcement department, Abdul Mukti Muchlish, the cases were brought by two prosecuting officers, namely sub-inspectors Latizah Latip and Susanah Lukas, before magistrate Nuruhuda Mohd Yusof.

Out of the 67 cases, Nuruhuda issued seven warrants of arrest for those who failed to attend the hearing. The court set July 24 this year for next mention of the cases.

City Hall also retracted eight summonses for the same offences as they had been settled by the offenders. A total of 52 cases, due for mention, were postponed to August 24, 2013.

City Hall urged traffic offenders who have been summonsed under the by-laws to respect the rules and regulations stipulated in the by-law and not to repeat the offences.
