JPJ is considering making dashcams mandatory in all public transport vehicles. According to the department’s assistant director of operations Mohd Alifarihan Abdullah, dashcams is a good idea and that current regulations only require public transport vehicles to be equipped with a GPS system.
“The licences and conditions for public vehicles are only GPS and is why having dashcams compulsory is a good idea but for now it’s only mandatory to have a GPS,” he said at the ‘Public Roads Don’t Belong to Bicycle Gangs’ forum in Pantai Dalam yesterday, reported by Malay Mail.
This suggestion surfaced after a recent viral video showed a Rapid KL MRT feeder bus driving close to a group of cyclists, which led to a confrontation between the bus driver and the cyclists. Police reports were made and there were subsequent lively discussions on cyclists’ presence and behaviour on the road.
Another recent development for buses was the government’s move to make the use of seat belts mandatory for express and tour bus drivers and passengers. It came after a bus accident that killed 15 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) students and injured 33 others.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
it’s 2026 soon, all cars should get mandated Dashcam.
while the higher risk one should get 4GsimDashcam connected to the Enforcement Center, like Office/JPJ.
Also would wish there is an app whereby the public can live report the speed/GPS location through
Huawei/Android/iPhone JPJ App.
over the time, this will help training bus drivers driving ethically.
Dashcams are so cheap now, it is unreasonable not to have it enforced
Need to conduct a survey. Then conduct an in-depth study and another study to study the result of the study. Last2 tak jadi because it will burden the people.
Look at the how they first announce mandatory child seat rules.
Please make sure JPJ made a list of suitable list of dashcam models in the market and not making it compulsory to buy purchase it from JPJ (or some elected business) and in return those dashcam supplied by you know who. And definitely not forcing only “certain” outlet can install them. Ini Malaysia, biasalah, sambil menyelam sambil minum air.
please make it mandatory for all enforcement personnel to wear bodycams when they are on duty. ie. PDRM, JPJ.
Making dashcams mandatory for all public transport vehicles is a step in the right direction. It not only protects drivers from false accusations but also promotes accountability and transparency on the road. Incidents like the recent MRT feeder bus and cyclist confrontation show just how valuable video evidence can be to understand what really happened.
While GPS helps track location, dashcams can provide crucial visual context, especially in high-traffic or high-conflict areas. Hopefully, this initiative will also encourage better behaviour from all road users — drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike. Safety should always come first.

This dash cam should also be be implemented to those GRAB food delivery Riders , the main cause of road accidents which most riders do not stop at red lights, overtaking cars left and right dangerously, parking illegally at car parking without being paying any fees or in between cars every time causing disturbances and more
Why JPJ and . ministry of transport refuse to catch these stubborn Riders but only catching the innocent frustrated motorists.
Sometimes is wrong with MOT officials Brains
those are b40 voters, touch anyone also cannot touch them!
Apasal survey lagi? Buang masa and resources sahaja.
