Using CCTV to Catch Bad Malaysian Drivers

The Road Transport Department (R.T.D.), it is said will initiate the use of cameras soon. These cameras would be installed at all traffic junctions in Malaysia. It is intended to deter indisciplined motorists from doing dangerous stunts as beating red traffic lights.

The Road Transport Department cannot allow Malaysians to continue to behave in such manner. Foreigners have a very bad impression of Malaysian drivers as a whole.

Malaysia’s accident rate ranks amongst the highest in the world. It’s number three, behind China and India. The R.T.D. has to redeem the standard of Malaysian drivers. With this in mind, the R.T.D. has finally decided to implement the cameras in its Automated Enforcement System (A.E.S.) soon.

The role of CCTVs today in our country is indeed immense. The R.T.D., according to its Minister, Datuk Ong Tee Kiat, is scheduled to launch the A.E.S. program anytime now in September 2010 throughout the country.

With this system at all traffic lights junction, R.T.D. will fix surveillance cameras to deter indisciplined motorists from doing wrong things like beating red traffic lights and so forth.
