JPJ asks public to be its ‘spies’ during Ops Hari Raya – take pics, videos of lawbreakers and send in via app

The public has been asked to be ‘spies’ (mata-mata) on behalf of the JPJ this Raya season by sending in info of lawbreakers on the road. JPJ is having its Ops Hari Raya Aidilfitri from April 29 to May 8 in conjunction with the festive season.

The appeal was made by Aedy Fadly Ramli, deputy director of planning an operations at JPJ. He said that info in photo and video form can be passed on to JPJ via the e-Aduan@JPJ mobile app, which is available on the Google Play Store.

“Besides 2,200 law enforcers that are surveying on the field, info from e-Aduan also helps us track motorists who purposely break the rules. So, we urge the public to record pictures or videos of incidents together with short info so action can be taken against them,” he told reporters at Juru yesterday night, reported by Sinar Harian.

The JPJ man believes that there will be motorists who will cut queues or drive on the emergency lane when faced with traffic jams over the Raya period. He said that based on the reports received, JPJ will take action against offenders in 48 to 72 hours. The department will also place officers at 15 hotspots nationwide to ensure that motorists obey the laws.

Motorists have been reminded to follow all the rules when making the balik kampung journey or face compounds and court action. Of late, there have been an increase in reports from the public on irresponsible road users displaying selfish behaviour and showing disregard to rules, JPJ says.

      Fighting crime is between public and police cooperation. Don’t always hope on us superheroes to be everywhere everytime.

      There is a new invention called “dashcam” that will magically take videos without you touching it.

    Do we get ‘incentives’ (benefits) for being ‘spies’? We don’t want to ‘jaga tepi kain orang’ for nothing. At least give us something right.

    May I suggest maybe by giving us 5,000 coins of online shopping apps. But just make sure that coins can be use for online payment. If you get what I meant. And also for fraud / fake reports can be ban (maybe 3-6 months) of online shopping.

      If you don’t want to, then don’t do it.. Give that lawbreaker way to cut your line, use emerge lane, etc.. All of them is KING OF HIGHWAY, so they deserve all of that privillage..

    Where to download? Try to find it on play store didn’t find it though. its more better like this because there a lot of people will break the rule and danger other people life on the road. So prepare during raya seasons. Just waiting saman for rule breaker.

    At least give tokens for every report made. Then accumulated tokens can be redeemed for discounts of own summons.

    Make the non-compoundable offences PERMANENT instead of just for the festive season. Being non-compoundable and have to be settled in court, there would be no chance for the selfish law-breaking road users to wait until those moronic “end year discounts” to clear their fines. For non-compoundable offences, since the payment of the fines are pretty much guaranteed, the informers should be eligible for a commission for every case reported. That should incentivize citizen “spies” or “snitches” to monetize their dashcam footages.

    Good job coming out with an app but erm, it would probably be a good idea to ensure that the app can be found in the Play/App Store first before making all sorts of official statement about it, no? I swear these government ministries can never roll out anything well
