AES deals is bias and no revenue


PUTRAJAYA -- The government cancelled the Automated Enforcement System (AES) summonses dating back to 2012 because the deal is biased and the collection of payments brings it no revenue, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
He said that based on the agreement signed by the previous government in December 2011 and brought into effect in 2012, the two companies operating the system – ATES Sdn Bhd and Beta Tegap Sdn Bhd –  were paid RM16 for every summons issued, limited to 10 million summonses per year.
Furthermore, he said, they were also given 50 per cent of the payments collected (at the rate of RM300), limited to RM540 per year.
In 2016, the government decided to halve the summons rate to RM150 and it was bound to hand over all the proceeds to the two companies, he added.
“The agreement is very biased. The government does not lose anything because it is zero-profit due to the biased agreement,” he said, Bernama reported.

Proton SUV open for booking at RM1,000

KUALA LUMPUR -- National car maker, Proton Holdings Bhd, is adopting an alphanumerical naming system for its future models beginning with the X70, its first sport utility vehicle (SUV). Sales and Marketing Vice-President Abdul Rashid Musa said the letter X is synonymous with crossover or SUV vehicles, while the number 70 denoted the size or class of the SUV and would enable Proton to adopt a logical system to add bigger or smaller models in the future. “This is the first time an alphanumerical naming system is used on a Proton model as our research shows it will make it easier to sell in ASEAN and other international markets, as there are no language barriers to overcome,” he told reporters at the preview of the new SUV. Proton Chief Executive Officer Dr Li Chunrong said Proton's adoption of the new naming system would make customer more focus on the brand name as compared with the model name.
