I will personally see this AES only like last time the speed trap camera = 'hangat2 tahi ayam'

later pulis will said cost high, we must abandon it.

i have a feeling it's going to be like South Korea highways. Speed limit 80km/h and have cameras (similar to AES) all over. But those Koreans are smart...drive fast like hell, but quickly slow down the car just before passing the camera. And their GPS maps have warning when getting near the camera..

KUALA LUMPUR: No traffic summonses will be issued to road users under the new Automated Enforcement System (AES) during the Hari Raya holiday period, the Transport Ministry said.

Its Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha said the Government had not set a date to fully implement the system as the cameras were still being tested and certified.

“We'll announce later when the system will start and we'll ensure that there are enough signboards in the areas that are under camera surveillance.

“We hope the system will be fully-operational by year-end,” he told a press conference after launching the national Hari Raya celebrations traffic awareness campaign at the Integrated South-Bandar Tasik Selatan Transport Terminal yesterday.

It was reported that under the new system, 566 speed cameras and 265 traffic light cameras would be installed while 250 mobile cameras would be in use for places with inadequate infrastructure for setting up a camera.

Kong said some of the cameras had already been put in place in some “blackspot areas” but were only on trial mode.

On another matter, Kong said the national speed limit on federal and state roads would be reduced by 10kph during the Hari Raya period.

“The speed limit will now be 80kph for federal roads while those travelling on state roads will not be allowed to go more than 70kph. It will take effect beginning Aug 12 until Aug 26.

“The Road Transport Department will also impose restriction on heavy vehicles carrying goods from Aug 17 to 18 and on Aug 25 to 26,” said Kong.

Meanwhile, several people interviewed were all for the lowered speed limit during the holiday period and gave the thumbs up for the AES system.

Student Chye Hui, 20, said she welcomed the move to reduce the speed limit during the Hari Raya holiday period.

“It is a good start to help reduce the risk and number of accidents. I hope the Government will also deploy more traffic police to reduce congestion during the period,” she said.

Another student, Mohamed Shafiq Mustafa, 21, also lauded the move to lower the speed limit and also expressed hope that the AES system would be implemented soon.

The govt departments decides whether or not to cancel the project, not that third party company (two companies, actually). In fact, technically these companies have no say in this other than using money to influence the decision-makers.

If someone higher up boh suang those suppliers (maybe he didnt get enough candy), he just have to KIV it and the suppliers will hailat.

most of the time yes, but not always. sometimes these companies just offer some irresistable in return to get the job.

Even if it is a crony-run company, the company is still subjected to the whim of the person in charge. There are other cronies competing for the same contract.

ok I provide you some picture for illustration

with AES, its time to turn on my grandfather mode.......slowpoke driving lvl gaban

Sorry they're busy teaching kids on "other" subject...

That is not to catch you exceeding speed limit across traffic lights.
It is to catch anyone who breaks the amber & red lights, 2 seconds rule.

Not sure if it captures if any car stops in the yellow box, which according to undang-undang, you are not support to stop there. Otherwise, when light changes, you'll block other cars from different direction, and cause a chain effect of traffic jam.

I hate when ppl so kiasu to actually stop on the yellowbox and act like nothing's wrong when others trying to exit/come out from an intersection!

aes is quite canggih system, for sure there are sensors that will detect any problem happen to it.
