KUALA LUMPUR: Ninety-six closedcircuit television cameras (CCTV) will be installed in Petaling Jaya by end of this year to curb crime especially involving school students.
Petaling Jaya deputy mayor Puasa Md Taib said so far 22 CCTVs have been installed and used in certain spots in the district.
"From the amount, another 24 units will be provided by the Federal government and 50 units will be supplied by the State government with the allocation of RM100,000 for maintaining the devices," said Puasa during the launch of "Crime Free Youth" campaign at PJ Civic Hall.
"Based on police data, we found the school students in this city are involved in petty theft and vehicle theft and Selangor has the most cases of juvenile crimes in Malaysia. So with the installation of the CCTV, they will think twice before committing crime."
