The vandalism of two Automated Enforcement System (AES) cameras in Selangor has triggered another spat between Transport Minister Kong Cho Ha and Selangor executive councillor Ronnie Liu.
According to aChina Pressreport, Kong(left) has demanded that Liu must reveal who is responsible forspraying red paint on the cameras last Saturday.
“…Does Liu have insider information? Perhaps he should cooperate with police and arrest those (involved),” Kong was quoted as saying.
He was responding to Liu’s statement that the Sepang Municipal Council (MPS) and Selangor government did not master-mind the situation.
The two cameras - one camera at the 6.6km point of the South Klang Valley Expressway and the other at the 301.7km point of the KL-bound lanes of the North-South Highway - have since been cleaned up.
Liu (right), meanwhile, said he believes that the vandalism was fuelled by public anger due to the issuance of more than 250,000 summons and prosecution of 10,000 drivers to date, according to Oriental Daily News.
The state government, he warned, will consider issuing a summons to the Road Transport Department and AES contractor, should they again to fail to apply for a permit to install the cameras.
Liu had said the MPS would dismantle the two cameras on Dec 7 because the contractor had failed to obtain a development order from the state to erect the structures.
However, Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim later announced that the cameras would be covered up instead.
The contractor was then given 30 days, with effect from Dec 6, to cover the cameras.
