AES is nothing but a new cash cow for the govt their cronies. I really do not see how a car speeding above 90 could be dangerous. I do see ppl maintaining speed at 90 and start to fall asleep, that is dangerous to me.
If the govt is serious about public safety, perhaps they should punish offenders with point system, hang their licience rather than issuing millions of summon to rob the poor rakyat.
Agreed. Just imagine this. They snapped 63,558 offenses using 14 cameras in just 11 days. That's like 412 offences per camera per day. So imagine when all 1000 plus cameras are operational. That would mean >420,000 offenses snapped per day. So if all 420K get the fine of RM300, the agencies / cronies involved would get
RM126 million per day. If this is not a money making scheme, then i dont know what is.
They keep on saying its a similar system implemented overseas. Yes i agree. The system is similar but in those countries the speed limits are carefully regulated and ammended to suit actual road conditions. You wont get a speed limit of 30kmph on a single lane Federal trunk road like we have near Teluk Intan.
But kudos to the DAP led Penang state government which banned the installation of the AES system until a more detailed study is completed.
