Recently, transport minister Anthony Loke announced that the Road Transport Department (JPJ) would take over the full operation of the Automated Enforcement System (AES) as well cover the enforcement operation of the Automated Awareness Safety System (AWAS) from September 1.
The department has since issued a list of locations of all 45 AWAS cameras in operation, of which 29 were for monitoring speed limit offences, while the remaining 16 were to catch traffic light infringements.
Motorists approaching a speed camera will be warned by signboards installed one, two and three kilometres before the camera’s location. As for traffic light camera, signboards will be installed between 50 to 1,000 metres away from the camera location.
Under AWAS, which includes the Kejara demerit points system, motorists who commit a traffic offence (speeding or jumping a red light) will be fined RM300 that must be settled within 60 days. They also stand to collect demerit points depending on their offence, with the first 20 points accrued resulting in a warning being issued by JPJ.
A further 20 points will see the motorist’s license be suspended for six to eight months. In the subsequent stages – three and four – obtaining another 20 points in each will result in a licence suspension of between eight to ten months and 10 to 12 months, respectively.
Your licence will be revoked should it be suspended three times within five years. Probationary drivers aren’t spared either, as their first 20 points will result in an immediate revocation of their licence.
In a report by The Star, Loke said, “offenders who do not clear their compound payments will be charged in court. If they fail to show up, they will be blacklisted from engaging in any transaction involving the Road Transport Department (JPJ) until the case is cleared. These include getting a road tax, and obtaining or renewing driving licence.”
“I want to stress that the main reason for the installation and enforcement of AWAS cameras is to educate and protect drivers, especially when they drive in the operational zones,” he added.

It is not the static cameras that we’re concerned, LokLok. It’s those under the bridge and hidden stealth cameras that we are worried about. Without yr list, I oredy identified the cameras in my route as they are obvious, unlike yr ninja cameras. Tell us something we don’t know.
Make alot more sense now to Grab or go public transportation. then drive & got penalized.
Motor beating the red.
Motor riding on reverse direction.
Motor not using motor-LANE. So how?
That JPJ tidur. Until today, Federal Highway full of motorbikes despite bike lane already open and functioning.
JPJ tidur. Lazy. Time to wake up JPJ. Start doing your work or else, we should get people from Mainland to run JPJ efficiently
partially open. im ok with them using the main roads…but don la fly and zig zag…some horn u and zoom…some play phone while doing superman stunt lagi….hebat la
JPJ doesnt deal with these offences, thats traffic police jurisdiction. JPJ’s job is to make sure road vehicles and operators are fit for road use.
so go blast your complaint to TRAFFIC police, not vice dpt, not CID, not white collar crime dpt, not narco dpt and certainly not JPJ.
ask cops, especially traffic cops. JPJ got nuthin to do with those offences. if they modified the motor then yes JPJ involved.
Grab driver now no more fat profit
The post above prove it
if you follow rules you wont get penalized. its so simple.
Slow down than pedal to the metal la dei…tht will prevent accidents ….hahahaha
JPJ address database should be sync with KWSP, LHDN & Insurance companies. So that motorists won’t receive late notices.
will they implement car limit 10years afterwards
Haha. Can speed 220kph, slow down 90kph only at AWAS cam, just like every other else hol. Y bother?
Lol demerit system is so useless. Jpj never update their database. Paultan, ask them the statistics and see how good all malaysian drive. They even don’t know number of active road-tax on the road.
