The Minister of Transport has now informed that the government has no plans to mandate the installation of dashboard cameras or "dashcams" on all vehicles in Malaysia. However, the government encourages the installation of dashboard cameras, especially for new vehicles directly from the manufacturer.
For your information, if the new vehicles came installed with a dashboard camera, it will be convenient for the user and there is no need to incur any additional costs for it. In addition, the Minister of Transport also encouraged bus operators to install dashboard cameras on buses. This can then be used to record and be used as evidence if involved in road accidents. It will also make it easier to find out who is at fault and who needs to be held accountable.
In addition, statistics say around 15 to 17 people die every day on average due to road accidents. We have yet to confirm other details on this matter. Hopefully, the government could propose a more streamlined and better approach to handle this issue.
