The Attorney-General's Chambers have withheld prosecution of individuals who have been penalised through the Automated Enforcement System (AES).
In a press release today, attorney-general Abdul Gani Patail said the move stems from public concern over "the law and other technicalities" related to the system.
"The Attorney-General's Chambers has decided to look into this matter and directed that all proceedings are to be withheld until the concerns have been addressed.
"A decision will be made within the next few days," read the statement.
On reports of several cases in which the judge had ruled a discharged not amounting to an acquittal, Abdul Gani said that these cases will be "restudied" and may be brought to court again if needed.
