have to pay up. We will not hesitate to take them to court if they fail to do so,” Nadzri said after signing a memorandum of understanding with the
Skills Development Department under the Human Resources Ministry.
RTD incorporated AES into Awas and Kejara on April 15 to help reduce road accidents caused by motorists.
A total of 19,230 summonses were issued within 13 days after Awas was introduced.
There are 21 AES cameras nationwide. More cameras would be installed in accident-prone areas, Nadzri said.
However, he declined to reveal details on the additional speed-trap cameras.
“Our intention is to educate people on good driving,” he said, refuting rumours on social media that RTD intended to “make money” through AES.
“We don’t install AES cameras at toll plazas as alleged.
“The cameras are installed in accident hotspots. The images captured will either be the front or rear of your car. We only want to see your car registration number.”
Nadzri advised the public to be more alert of AES signage, which are placed between 50m and 500m from the cameras’ location.
On the shake-up at the RTD, which saw its high-ranking officials being transferred out, Nadzri said the move would not affect his department’s enforcement as his teams were techsavvy and able to multitask.
He said RTD would launch its mobile applications soon so that people could check the status of their summonses.
