AES can reduce fatal accidents

"The authorities have done a detailed study of 831 areas identified as accident prone since five years ago before the AES was implemented. "Therefore, the people do not have to worry and not think the system is troublesome but an effort to save them from continuing to bevictims of road accidents," he told reporters after launching of a "OneCommunity One JPJ" in Kuala Telemong here today.
