The AES of Malaysia

AES. Most of us would go What's AES?

AES stands for Automated Enforcement System. Still no idea what it is? It's the camera system that has been installed along our highways.

It has been reported that proceeds from summonses are shared between the AES contractors and the Road Transport Department/government. It gets more interesting. The two companies are not camera manufacturers but obtained the cameras from another source.
