Starting from September 30, citizens can settle fixed penalties of public cleanliness and obstruction offences by using the Faster Payment System or paying through bank automated teller machines (ATMs) marked with the "JET Payment" logo, the Government announced today.
 
Currently, members of the public can settle such fixed penalties through online banking, PPS, telephone banking, ATMs that support Electronic Teller Card services, etc.
 
To facilitate the payment, the Secretary for Environment & Ecology, empowered under section 17A of the Fixed Penalty (Public Cleanliness & Obstruction) Ordinance, has revised the format of the relevant fixed penalty notices, adding the two new electronic payment methods.
 
Amendments to the relevant notices were published in the Government Gazette today.
