I am sure they put on the yellow sign (Operasi Had laju) before approaching the camera, I don't know about the Kajang one but the 2 camera up north has this 2 warning signs about 2-3KM before the camera. When you saw this sign, then you should start driving within the speed limit
Thats not the sign. The sign for the camera is
OPERASI KAMERA. The other sign boards have been there for ages and are located at every few km's.

When you see the warning signboard, start release the pedal and let it cruise down to 80-90km/h.
This may take about 500-1000m+ and by that time, you will reach nearby the camera.
The camera detect and shoot at about 100-200m+ (from the pole), to capture your front plate number.
Those previous handheld or tripod mounted radar gun, straight line can shoot up to 2km.
By the time you see the fellow squatting down at pillar, most of the time is too late already. Unless he press wrong or shaking or temporary blinded by the sun or missed it.
But they normally shoot at 300-800m range.
Therefore, when approaching interchange, PLUS always has 3 signboards. 2km, 1km and 500m.
I'll release pedal and move to slower lanes immediately after pass the 2km board.
Bro, the cops only sit at the middle pillar about 50% of the time only. At other times, they sit by the side or near the bushes. So the technique of slowing down before interchanges or overhead crossings will only work 50% of the time.
Rule of thumb is never speed between 8am-6.30pm. But with the AES, it wont matter since its 24 hrs.

what if we engage high-beam when we're nearing the camera location?
This was the old technique which some claimed worked. But it never has and never will affect any speed cams. Same goes for that number plate spray.

I think I got flashed too at slim river. I'm driving at about 110 to 120.
Papers say that we will receive in between 5 days?
Kinda worried now although it passed 5 days, still, checked and nothing though.
The AES operational speed is just like the normal hand held speed cams whereby it picks up speeds starting from 121kmph. So if ure below that u wont get caught. But the problem is your car speedometer is not always accurate. So best to just maintain 110kmph at the AES zones.

Yeah you are right, we should follow the speed limit. I guess you are not driving often, especially along plus highway, when you are driving 110km/h in the left lane and behind you is a bus or a trailer and keep flashing or horning you to give way or drive faster, and this is a very very normal condition and our government did not take any action against these lorry, bus or trailer company and driver since the speed limit for them is only 80km/h or 90km/h, especially most of the accidents are caused by them. Sometimes if you are driving within the speed limit range is very dangerous when meet this kind of "big guy".
They can honk and flash all they want but they wont hit you so no need for you to be intimidated in any way. From my experience, these heavy vehicles usually get pissed off when ppl suddenly cut in front of them and slow down or they drive on the fast lane while refusing to let them pass. But if ure on the slow lane and within the speed limit, then carry on.
But yes enforcement on all vehicles in Malaysia is severely lacking.
