JPJ officer fails to declare disposed assets in HRMIS
PUTRAJAYA: An investigation by the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) found that there are Road Transport Department (JPJ) officers who failed to update and declare the disposal of assets in the Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS).
In a statement today, EAIC said the investigation was conducted under section 27(4) of the EAIC Act 2009 [Act 700] following a complaint against the Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory Road Transport Department (JPJ KL) involving several vehicle registration numbers.
'Following the investigation, it was found that several vehicles in the names of JPJ KL officers have not yet been declared obsolete through the HRMIS system, even though the vehicles have not been in their possession for a long time.
'This violates regulation 10(2) of the Public Servants (Conduct and Discipline) Regulations 1993 (P.U. (A) 395/1993),' it said.
In this regard, EAIC decided to refer the results of the investigation to the JPJ Disciplinary Board with the recommendation that a warning letter be issued to the JPJ officers involved.

EAIC finds weakness in customs declaration process
PUTRAJAYA: The Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) has identified weaknesses in the approval process for Customs Declaration Forms used to clear imported goods. In a statement today, the EAIC said its investigation also found that some importers and customs agents had made declarations without adhering to the existing provisions under the Customs Standing Orders. "The EAIC received complaints against the Customs Department alleging failure to revoke the licences of importers and agents who violated the Customs Standing Orders. Investigations were conducted under subsection 27(4) of the EAIC Act 2009 (Act 700)," the statement read. As a result, the EAIC has recommended improvements to the Customs Department to enhance oversight and ensure stricter compliance with Customs Standing Orders by importers and customs agents. The commission also urged the department to take firm action against any party found to be in breach of these regulations. – BERNAMA

Point-to-point speed detection hasn't started yet, says ministry
The point-to-point system catches speeding drivers by measuring the time their vehicle takes to travel between two points, and then calculating its average speed. (JPJ Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : The road transport department (JPJ) has not started the trial of the point-to-point speed detection using the new Automated Awareness Safety System (Awas) cameras. The office of transport minister Loke Siew Fook said no date had been set yet for the pilot project, which was supposed to start sometime this month. It said updates on the trial would be announced in due course, Berita Harian reported. JPJ is set to test the system on two main highways – the Karak Highway, from the Genting Sempah tunnel to the Gombak rest stop, and on the North-South Expressway (PLUS), from the Senawang toll plaza to the Simpang Ampat (Alor Gajah) toll plaza. The department had also planned to introduce the system in accident-prone areas, such as from the Menora tunnel to the Sungai Perak rest stop on the PLUS highway. The system, which uses artificial intelligence, would catch speeding drivers by measuring the time their vehicle took to travel between two points and then calculating its average speed. If a vehicle reached a location earlier than if it kept to the speed limit, a traffic summons would be automatically issued based on the plate number. Transport secretary-general M Jana Santhiran had said the system would also be able to determine if drivers stopped their vehicles to prolong their journey time and avoid being caught speeding, but did not elaborate how.

QuickCheck: Can you use your phone while stopped at a traffic light?
A VIDEO went viral recently after the Road Transport Department (JPJ) issued a summons to a driver for holding a phone while stopped at a red light. The 46-second video sparked a heated online discussion, with many questioning if merely holding a phone at a traffic light, even if one is not making a call, is an actual offence. Is it true that you cannot use your phone while you are stopped at a traffic light? Verdict: TRUE Using a mobile phone while driving a car, whether stopped at a traffic light or during a traffic jam, is an offence under Malaysian laws. Individuals who commit such an offence may be fined under Rule 17A of the Road Traffic Rules 1959. According to MyCheck Malaysia, JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said mobile phones may be used in certain circumstances with assistive devices. This includes phone holders, Bluetooth or other hands-free devices. Other than that, phones may not be used by motorists even if the vehicle is not moving, except when parked in a parking bay. This is because using a mobile phone while driving or riding a motorcycle can cause a distraction and lead to unwanted incidents when road users should focus on arriving at their destination.
