Cyberjaya has become the first township to install an integrated closed-circuit television (CCTV) system linked directly to the Malaysian Emergency Response System (MERS 999).
Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan said the system will help protect public safety by speeding up aid to the location.
"CCTV-MERS 999 is a pioneer project under Cyberjaya's M-SAFE programme via the Safe Township concept introduced by the government to ensure a safe environment," he said at its launch at Cyberjaya police station here Monday.
The system will allow personnel at the police control centre to monitor incidents as they happen via MERS 999.
Other than for crime detection, the system also comes with warning for fire, flood and other natural disasters.
Meanwhile, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said the system would allow police to act more quickly.
"I hope this system can be installed in other areas including LRT and monorail stations," he said.
The project involves installing 30 CCTV systems costing RM10mil over ten years. MERS 999 was implemented in all states starting Oct 2007 and would be completed by June next year.
