The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) will be deploying in-car radar devices as well as the Intelligent Compound Online Payment System (iCOPS) for traffic law enforcement in the upcoming Ops Selamat 17 that will be carried in conjunction with the upcoming Chinese New Year celebrations, the New Straits Times reported.
The in-car radar devices will be used as a speed detection device, and will be used in addition to regular enforcement operations for detecting vehicles exceeding the posted speed limit, said deputy IGP Datuk Razarudin Husain.
Meanwhile, the iCOPS will show if the caught traffic offenders have outstanding summonses and traffic offence arrest warrants, the deputy IGP said. The system will also detect vehicles which have been stolen, cloned or have otherwise been involved in criminal cases, and are very helpful in storing and building vehicle profiles for police analysis at present and in the future, he added.
Enforcement with the in-car radar and iCOPS systems will be carried out by the police force’s highway patrol teams, which will be assigned to patrols along highways nationwide including those operated by PLUS Malaysia, Razarudin said.
“After two years of Ops Selamat not being implemented due to the Movement Control Order (MCO), Ops Selamat has now been relaunched. The operation is being carried out with two main objectives, namely to prevent burglary and minimise road accidents during the festive season,” he continued.
Meanwhile, PLUS expects to see a surge in the volume of vehicles plying its highways, with up to 1.6 million vehicles expected to be on the roads during the Chinese New Year period, said PLUS Malaysia chairman Datuk Mohamad Nasir Ab Latif.
“Based on studies, we expect the number of vehicles on the highway to start increasing on January 28 and 29, as well as on February 2 and 5,” Latif said. To that end, a total of 246 PLUSRonda teams will be on duty throughout the festive season, and the frequency of patrols have been increased to help highway users when they encounter problems, he added.

Incorrect. Driving lesson teaches that intercity highways are usually 80/90 kmph and 3 lane highways are usually 110kmph unless stated. Just stick to default speeds and you won’t get saman.
Not true 3 lanes highway are 110 kmph!
Everyone knows there certain stretch of 6 lanes highway NSE only 90 kmph speed limit?
Those stretches are intercity dude. Max 90kmph as I said above. Once you leave Selangor borders NSE becomes 110kmph except for certain dangerous stretches which clearly tells you the speed limit.
why let the dangerous stretch remains as it is? why not make it safer?
Use radar detector & stealth technology.
So slow down when you approaching a bridge or see a parked car on the emergency lane.
Why highway speed limit still 110km/h? It’s unnecessary slow with modern car technology. Even axia can drive 120km/h and still maintain safe driving.
Safety doesn’t depend only the vehicle. It also depends on the nut that is holding the wheel.
now that highways have ANPR, it’s time to enforce average speed limit.
