It has been awhile since we’ve heard of it, but the Kejara demerit points system will be back by the end of this year, along with the Automated Enforcement System (AES). This was announced by Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai yesterday after he flagged off the Kembara Kasih Merdeka 2015 convoy in Putrajaya.
“We hope to revive Kejara as well as the AES by the end of this year. Both systems are good and effective and we need good systems,” he said, adding that both systems were undergoing reviews to ensure a foolproof implementation.
Under the previous Transport Minister, the proposed demerit points under AES would only be enforced if the offender fails to clear the fines after 90 days from the date the summons notice was issued. This will no longer be the case.
“We want to review on the demerit points that stated one won’t face point deduction even if he or she pays the traffic fines. Traffic offenders did not learn any lesson so we thought that those committing serious offences should still have their points deducted,” Liow said.
Meanwhile, “the AES is to remind motorists not to speed”. It was initially supposed to start in 2012 but came under public objection. In December 2013, the Dewan Rakyat adopted a motion to allow the Government to take over the AES from the previously appointed private operators. Boustead Holdings Berhad and the Armed Forces Fund Board (LTAT) are now in the picture.
In May, it was reported that the AES will be significantly expanded in this second phase, which will see cameras being installed at traffic light intersections in stages at 262 locations nationwide by year end.
Do you think the revival of Kejara and AES will help make our roads, which are pretty deadly, safer?

donations sudah guna habis, mau top up sudah~
This one clearly some UMNO dude want to make a few billion free money. Remember the 2 crony companies implementing the AES? It was estimated that each company would make at least a few billion clean profit each per year if 5% of all vehicles in Malaysia kena saman in a year once.
Imagine, a small Sdn Bhd can make more than listed Sime Darby clean profit.
Lucky 2 cronies. I am sure they are UMNO emembers
nope, because the system won’t go online , secondly open to abuse of ‘settle’ , even if you take away their license they will still be on the roads.
That’s why most if not all Malaysian drivers are high class ‘BANGSAT’ that shouldn’t be allowed on the road at all, instead should be thrown inside jail for many tens of years.
If u cant do the time..dont do the crime..
Good job
Whatever they do they not able to solve the menace of “Mat Rempits” which go around robbing people as well.This authorities only want to go around targeting soft targets..Solve the ” Mat Rempits” issue first..Whatever your systems you only caused more hardships to the people..SOLVE THE MAT REMPITS WHO ALSO ROBBED AND CAUSES TERROR TO THE ROAD USERS AS WELL AS A PRIORITY FIRST..
Safer for them cronies and ministers but not for normal Rakyat…
We sometimes rush because they block the road for “important “donation” meeting”.
He should help Rakyat to reduce car price not add more burden to Rakyat !!!
Yeah it will work if they put those cameras in proper locations and make sure to catch everyone who is caught on camera and I mean even the VIPS
I understand if we are caught by AES now, we don’t have to pay the fines. What happened to the monies for those that paid? Somebody songlap?
why not just straight away deduct point without summon? license gantung is more heavy than just paying fine right? that will remind driver drive more carefully~
for AES in traffic light intersection is a good move, hope it can catch not only cars, but can catch motorcycle also. hope AES is control by government instead of privatize.
another failure from the govt…
Love your money? Never give your money to umno government? It’s easy, just not break the traffic law. Don’t blame government if you got summon because your attitude. It’s stupid excuse just to cover your mistake
