Another seven Automatic Enforcement System (AES) cameras will be installed across the country this year, according to the Road Transport Department (JPJ). The department’s director-general Datuk Seri Nadzri Siron said the cameras will be placed at accident-prone locations, Bernama reports.
“The department, with the cooperation of the Road Safety Department (JKJR), police and the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (Miros) have studied several locations with high frequency of accidents,” he said.
“So far, we have installed 14 AES cameras in Peninsular Malaysia and the additional cameras will help reduce road accidents in the country,” he added, but declined to reveal the locations where the seven new AES cameras will be placed.
On another front, Nadzri said that the Automated Awareness Safety System (Awas) and Kejara demerit points system has seen 19,230 summonses issued in the first two weeks since its implementation, on April 15. The total – from April 15 to 27 – includes 16,791 summonses for speeding and 2,439 summonses for beating the red light.
He said this showed that many motorists had no regard for safety or the law. “Even though we have implemented the system, the high number of summonses shows the poor attitude or scant awareness of the people in obeying the law,” Nadzri stated.

No plan installing AES cameras in sabah and sarawak because afraid of losing voters?
Dude, the roads there are too terrible to go fast anyway. No point installing AES cameras as nobody is going to speed in those road conditions :)
yea…only can catch those break traffic light which also malfunction sometimes….lol
Goes to show u never been to Sabah & Sarawak. How fast can u go b4 PBH comes up?
If they install in S & S, chances are most of the cameras will end up in someone home as a token of “Appreciation”.
Dhey macai, this is about enforcing traffic regulations and road safety, making msian roads safer for EVERYONE.. Take your political shit somewhere else
More like revenue raising method from the government.
MY pipu is rich enuff to ignore the law. So saman the rich.
Please install them at every traffic light junctions, there are way too many road fatalities and accidents of people beating the red lights that resulted side impact road accidents, as well as posed dangers to pedestrian bystanders that contributed to big economic losses and damages.
They say they want to reduce road accidents but yet implement it without anyone knowing it. If they really want to reduce road accidents. Notify the public where the AES camera is located which will naturally make the road users slow down.
If not, this is just a money making technique
Are u telling thieves where u can or cannot steal?
No one gives a hoot about road safety.
Come to PJ SJ and SA.
Beating traffic lights and using highway when motorcycle lane is provided is a norm.
U should be installing 7000 AES and traffic light cameras instead of a mere 7 afterall the govt already paid billions taking over this system.
Time for some serious enforcement to book these culprits we see everyday.
When can Kuching get AES + AWAS!! People driving like crazy here. 100 units of AES please.
More AES = More saman = More revenue.
Every Rakyat kena screw everyday, everywhere and everytime.
This is wrong thinking. Dont break the rules then you won’t get saman. If you hate the gov so much, why break rules and give them more revenue?
Equation wrong. Reduction formula not applicable here.
More AES + More idiots = More saman = More revenue.
Why have 2 different systems, AES & AWAS?
AES is part of AWAS.
AWAS sebab AES nak Saman U. Hehehe.
Tak bayar saman, nanti Gov KERJARA-kan u. Hehehe.
Hehehe. Looks like Black Dog got more then what he bargain for john. Like U said, AES is part of AWAS.
If kena SAMAN & don’t pay, Kerajaan will KERJARA-kan those who don’t pay SAMAN. Is that correct john ??!
if i put fake number plate, AES summon will go to the wrong person?
no need faking a number plate. Just remove one number is enuf oredi. When stopped by police, just say the number accidently dropped off….heheheh
