Ha! ha! ha! Kong Chong Ha, itu saman AES kasi olang ketawa gila, kasi tangguh lepas pilihanlaya...



Jabatan Peguam Negara (AGC) mengarahkan semua prosiding mahkamah berkaitan saman Sistem Penguatkuasaan Automatik (AES) dibekukan untuk mengkaji isu perundangan yang dibangkitkan.

Kenyataan yang dikeluarkan AGC hari ini selepas rungutan pelbagai pihak terhadap AES yang sudah mengeluarkan hampir 300,000 saman sejak ia dimulakan pada 23 September lalu.

“Semua prosiding berkaitan saman Sistem Penguatkuasaan Automatik (AES) diarah ditangguhkan sementara sehingga beberapa isu bersifat undang-undang dan teknikal diselesaikan.”

Kenyataan itu turut menyebut saman AES yang dikeluarkan oleh Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) adalah sah, bagaimanapun pihaknya mengambil berat beberapa perkara undang-undang dan teknikal yang ditimbulkan berikutan pelaksanaan saman tersebut

“Keputusan akan dibuat dalam beberapa hari berhubung isu di atas,” kata AGC melalui satu kenyataan hari ini.

“Berikutan empat saman AES yang digugurkan kerana tidak cukup bukti, AGC akan mengkajinya semula dan akan mendaftarkannya jika mahukan pendakwaan,” tambahnya.

Dalam laporan The Malaysian Insider hari ini, Putrajaya dikatakan akan membekukan kamera AES untuk mengelakkan saman berganda dengan sistem saman polis yang boleh menambahkan kesusahan kepada pengguna jalan raya

Projek swasta bernilai RM700 juta bermula pada bulan September dengan 14 kamera fasa percubaan tetapi Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) berikrar untuk melancarkan sebanyak 831 kamera menjelang akhir 2013 untuk menangkap pemandu laju dan mencegah lebih banyak kematian di jalan raya.

Pihak polis yang menguatkuasakan undang-undang hadlaju, berkata mereka akan meneruskan penguatkuasaan dan meletakkan perangkap kelajuan mudah alih berhampiran kamera AES, meningkatkan prospek denda dua kali bagi pemandu ingkar.

“Kerajaan sedang mempertimbangkan membekukan pelaksanaan AES disebabkan pertindihan sistem saman. Ini akan menyebabkan kesusahan,” kata satu sumber kepada The Malaysian Insider.

Beliau juga menyatakan beberapa ahli parlimen dari Barisan Nasional (BN) juga meminta kerajaan untuk menghentikan pelaksanaan sehingga semua pandangan dipertimbangkan.

Naib Presiden PAS Datuk Mahfuz Omar turut menuntut JPJ memulangkan semula bayaran oleh pesalah trafik yang dikenakan saman kamera AES selepas membawa kes tersebut ke mahkamah.

Ahli parlimen Pokok Sena itu mendakwa agensi kerajaan tersebut menghentikan sementara penguatkuasaan kamera perangkap laju tersebut ekoran langkah semalam apabila menarik balik saman tersebut ke atas mereka yang dihadapkan ke mahkamah.- malaysian insider

 

K'jaan akan tarik balik saman AES?

“Wang saman yang dibayar 10,000 rakyat mesti dipulangkan semula. Ini tak adil pada mereka. 300,000 saman yang dikeluarkan mesti dibatal serta merta,” kata Exco Kerajaan Tempatan, Kajian dan Penyelidikan Selangor, Ronnie Liu kepadaKeadilan Daily

“Wang saman yang dibayar 10,000 rakyat mesti dipulangkan semula. Ini tak adil pada mereka. 300,000 saman yang dikeluarkan mesti dibatal serta merta,” kata Exco Kerajaan Tempatan, Kajian dan Penyelidikan Selangor, Ronnie Liu kepadaKeadilan Daily.

Beliau yang juga Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri Pandamaran berkata, Kerajaan Pusat berdolak dalik dan masih menipu jika hanya ‘mempertimbang untuk membekukan’ AES.

“Mempertimbang atau membeku hanyalah tempoh untuk tangguh. Sampai bila? Sampai pilihan raya? Kalau ini benar, maka, ia hanya langkah sementara untuk mengelak Barisan Nasional kalah Pilihan Raya Umum ke-13.

“Majoriti rakyat tak suka, sebab itu dia (kerajaan) tangguhkan?” soalnya.

“Dia (Kerajaan Pusat) tak jujur. Saya yakin mereka akan kuatkuasa semula sistem AES jika menang pilihan raya. Hanya satu cara, kalahkan mereka (BN),” kata Ronnie.

Jelasnya, menurut undang-undang kerajaan tempatan, ‘pengusaha’ AES telah melanggar Akta Parit, Jalan dan Saliran.

Merujuk Subseksyen 2(1) Akta 172 Akta Perancangan Bandar dan Desa 1976, Kebenaran Merancang (KM) ditakrifkan sebagai ‘kebenaran yang diberikan, dengan atau tanpa syarat, untuk menjalankan pemajuan’.

“Mereka (AES) tak mohon, jadi tak dapat kelulusan PBT (Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan). AES ialah struktur haram. Tak kira sama ada mereka bina atas premis sendiri, tanah sendiri atau tanah sewa, dia (AES) mesti dapat Kebenaran Merancang.

“Ini sangat jelas. Tiada ‘grey area’,” tegas Ronnie.-keadilandaily

A-G’s Chambers freezes AES summons cases for now ...

The Attorney-General’s Chambers (A-GC) has ordered a halt to all court proceedings related to summonses issued under the Automated Enforcement System (AES) to study legal issues that have been raised, it said today. 

The A-GC statement came today after an outcry over the AES which has issued nearly 300,000 summonses since it began last September 23.

“In view of the concerns made by certain quarters on the law and other technicalities, the AGC 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 on the above-mentioned issues,” the AGC said in a statement today.

The statement, however, added that the AES summonses issued by the Road Transport Department were still valid.

“In respect of the four AES summons cases that have been discharged not amounting to an acquittal, the AGC will re-study them and will be re-registered if they warrant any prosecution,” it added.

The Malaysian Insider had reported this morning that Putrajaya was considering holding off the implementation of the system as it appeared to duplicate police speed traps along the highways.

The privatised RM700 million project began in September with a pilot phase of 14 cameras but the Road Transport Department (RTD) has pledged to roll out a total of 831 cameras by end-2013 to catch speeding motorists and prevent more road deaths.

The police, who enforce the speeding laws, have said they will continue enforcement and put up mobile speed traps near the AES cameras, raising the prospect of dual fines for errant motorists.

“The government is considering putting on hold the implementation of the AES due to the duplication of the summons system. That will cause hardship,” a source told The Malaysian Insider.

He also noted that several lawmakers from the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) have also asked the government to stop the implementation until all views are considered.

Another source said the government wants to ensure the AES will help ensure that motorists follow speed limits throughout their journey rather than just in the areas where the cameras are situated.

“This system is to enforce speed limits and ensure road safety,” he added. 

PAS vice-president Datuk Mahfuz Omar also told the RTD today to refund traffic offenders caught by the AES and who have paid their fines after the department moved to recall the court cases.

The Pokok Sena lawmaker suggested that the government agency appeared to have suspended temporarily the enforcement of the speed trap cameras after it moved yesterday to take back the summonses issued to offenders who had taken their grievances to court. -malaysian insider



Gov't to withdraw AES summons...

Recent developments may point to a mass withdrawal of traffic summonses issued using the Automated Enforcement System (AES) with cases being withdrawn from proceedings in at least two courts since yesterday.

"This actually happened from yesterday but our lawyers were not able to attend yesterday's cases," related anti-postal summons group Kase legal adviser Zulhazmi Shariff. 


"But today I was told that at the Kuala Lumpur Magistrate's Court, (Road Transport Department, RTD) officers collected the AES summonses from the respondents and told them to go home. Their cases were not heard in court."

He also related how two cases he handled today as well as eight more due for hearing tomorrow and on Friday have been postponed for one month by the DPPs  concerned due to ‘incomplete documentation'
.

NONEWhen he broached the subject of the withdrawn summonses and postponed cases with the DPPs handling these cases in the Kuala Lumpur courts, Zulhazmi (right) said that they were tightlipped and would only say that they had "technical problems".

Zulhazmi also said a respondent whose case was to be heard at the Putrajaya court today, had said that all respondents were given a discharge not amounting to an acquittal when the DPP withdrew the case after the charge was read out in court.

He believes that the withdrawals may be connected to legal objections to the prosecution of AES cases.

On Dec 10, the PAS legal team had argued that RTD officers do not have prosecutorial powers under the Road Transport Act and can only prosecute cases with written permission by the Attorney-General for each case handled.

Zulhazmi claimed that after this objection was recorded in four courts, RTD officers stopped prosecuting AES cases, handing these to DPPs from the Attorney-General’s Chambers instead.
                           
‘Burden on respondents’

Kase chairperson and PAS veep Mahfuz Omar, who was at the press conference, said the sudden withdrawal of cases by the government is causing “undue difficulties” to both respondents and their lawyers who have to show up.


NONE“They should have announced it beforehand and continued to withdraw the cases without need for the respondents to be present,” he said.

He argued that the respondents now face loss of leave. They will also incur travel and meal expenses, as well as legal costs.

Mahfuz (left) posited that the withdrawals only reinforce Kase’s argument that enforcement of the AES has been problematic from Day One and that it is based on unsound legal ground.

Asked to respond to a report today in news portal The Malaysian Insider - which quoted a Putrajaya insider as saying that the government is mulling a freeze on AES implementation to avoid overlapping with police speed traps - Mahfuz quipped: “I told you so. I had mentioned this in Parliament before.”

He, however, welcomed any such freeze as further vindication of Kase’s assertions against the traffic enforcement system.

In light of the “technical problems” and withdrawal of the cases, Mahfuz called on the government to cancel all 256,899 summonses issued and return the money collected in fines to date.-malaysiakini
