The Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) has ordered a halt to all court proceedings related to Automated Enforcement System (AES) summonses to study legal concerns that have been raised, according to a report published by The Malaysian Insider.
In a statement, the AGC said: “In view of the concerns made by certain quarters on the law and other technicalities, the AGC has decided to look into this matter and directed that all proceedings are to be withheld until the concerns have been addressed.”
It added that a decision would be made within the next few days on the said issues, and that the AES summonses issued by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) were still valid.
“In respect of the four AES summons cases that have been discharged not amounting to an acquittal, the AGC will re-study them and they will be re-registered if they warrant any prosecution,” the statement said.
The news follows an earlier report that Putrajaya was considering deferring the implementation of the AES to avoid duplicating the police summons system that will continue to be in place.
14 cameras have been running since September and JPJ expects to roll out the RM700 million privatised system and its 831 cameras by end-2013. The police, however, have said they will continue putting up mobile speed traps near the AES cameras, which could result in dual fines for errant motorists.
Since its implementation on September 23, nearly 300,000 AES summonses have been issued, of which around 10,000 have been paid up.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express strong feelings about AES, with many arguing it’s a profit-driven system that unfairly targets motorists, especially due to fixed speed limits and timing issues. Some believe it leads to unnecessary fines and court cases, while others support it as a tool for road safety. There’s concern over privatization, legal legitimacy, and system reliability, including claims that some cameras are dummy. Several commenters want the system abolished, boycotted, or reformed, citing abuse, corruption, and privacy issues. Overall, sentiments are predominantly negative.
