LAST year, Dr Horace Chang, minister of national security, had high hopes that he would have had a fully operational traffic ticketing system in place.

“There is a traffic ticketing management system that was acquired from some time back, but the system was never properly operationalised,” he told the House of Representatives in the budget debate.

According to him, the necessary hardware and software were being sourced to ensure that there could be development and implementation of an electronic warrant module in the traffic ticketing management system.

“Once we can do that and ensure that those who receive tickets will, in fact, have consequences when they breach the Road Traffic Act, that will begin to restore order to our public highway, and the public will see a major difference in how they operate, and our public space will be safe,” he said.
