Transport minister Anthony Loke has said that the ministry has no plans to make having a dashcam mandatory for all vehicles in the country.
For drivers, having a dashcam installed is generally a good idea. Such a good idea, in fact, that the idea of making them mandatory was floated before. For what it's worth, the transport ministry has not made it so just yet. And according to a recent report by Bernama, there are no plans to make it so.
The report quotes transport minister Anthony Loke as saying that while it is not mandatory, 'we encourage the installation of dashcams especially in vehicles from the manufacturers'. He was also quotes as saying that recordings from dashcams 'can be used as proof of who is at fault and who should be responsible if there is an accident'.
We'd probably go further that not only is dashcam footage useful for determining who is at fault in an accident, it's also an important form of self-protection. One relatively recent example was a scam attempt back in 2022, which saw a man launching himself into the windshield of a car which had just turned a corner.
Immediately after, several 'witnesses' appeared, with one seemingly recording the accident. The crowd, including the 'victim' dispersed after the driver said to wait for the police to arrive as he had a dashcam installed.
