Over 1,000 AES cameras to be installed nationwide

Thought the whole thing had slipped away into the background? Apparently not. The Ministry of Transport has revealed that as many as 1,079 Automated Enforcement System (AES) cameras are to be installed around the country, says a report by The Malaysian Insider.

In a written reply to a question from Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng at the Dewan Rakyat, the ministry said that the locations of the cameras have yet to be identified, but will be determined by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety and Research (MIROS) soon.

“(Translated) As many as 1,079 AES cameras have yet to be installed nationwide. MIROS is identifying accident-prone areas using a more detailed set of criteria based on the latest national road accident statistics.”

The written reply also revealed that as of June 11 this year, the government had collected RM20 million in fines from the 673,339 summons issued.

“(Translated) 628,045 of the summons issued were for speeding while the remaining 45,294 were for traffic light violations. The compound collected for the same period totalled RM20,020,500,” the ministry said.

The RM700 million AES project began with 14 cameras in the pilot phase, but the Road Transport Department (JPJ) has pledged to increase the number of cameras by the end of 2013.

Transport Minister: No need for legal amendments to implement AES

SHAH ALAM: There is no need for legal amendments to implement the Automated Enforcement System (AES), said acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.

He said a meeting was held recently with all stakeholders involved with the AES and three to four options had been put forward on the implementation of the system.

The stakeholders included the Attorney-General, police and concessionaire as well as the views of the public.

Hishammuddin admitted that there were some weaknesses in the AES when it was first launched, but the intention of introducing the system should continue to be highlighted.

"It is not necessary to amend the law. Isssues which had been raised, whether positive or negative, should not divert our attention from the intention (of AES). 

"Maybe there were some restrictions or weaknesses, but the priority is road safety," he told reporters after launching the new design of the Malaysian driving licence at the Road Transport Department (JPJ) here.

The introduction of the AES late last year had been controversial. The AES captures pictures and video images of cars speeding or jumping a red light in targeted areas and issues summonses accordingly to offenders.

Early this year, the Attorney-General's Chambers decided to freeze all court proceedings related to summonses issued under the AES after legal concerns were raised by certain quarters.
