00:00 [President of the Indonesian Government, Mr. A. Gauteng] "In terms of WIMS, the high-speed, wet-in-motion,
00:06 during the period from 2016 to September 2023, a total of 65,221 complaints have been issued regarding this violation of the regulations.
00:23 The Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Public Works are in the final stages of developing this high-speed, wet-in-motion system.
00:33 Through this use, heavy vehicle traffic can be carried out in real time and automatically,
00:41 without the need for a vehicle.
00:44 This needs to be stopped.
00:46 In relation to the speed limiter, the Ministry's initiative to address the issue of high-speed
01:02 involves the procurement of goods, vehicles and buses.
01:09 The Ministry has required the installation of a vehicle speed limiter device for each new model of high-speed vehicles
01:20 since 2015.
01:25 This requirement is enforced by the JPCR through the vehicle type approval procedure,
01:35 i.e. VTA for each new model of high-speed vehicles since 1 January 2015.
01:42 We also request to have a compliance with the UN Regulation R89,
01:50 with the permission of Vehicles with Regards to Limitation of their Maximum Speed Speed Limitation Devices
01:57 and Adjustable Speed Limitation Devices, which have been implemented under the 9A Regulation,
02:04 the Motor Vehicle Regulations, i.e. the 1959 Development and Use Regulations.
02:10 So, in Malaysia, the vehicles that are required are only under a few categories,
02:17 i.e. the M2, M3, N2 and N3 categories.
02:22 The M2 is a vehicle that is used to transport passengers.
02:32 The M3 is a vehicle that is used to transport passengers in a number of seats,
02:38 which is more than 8 seats, including the driver's seat and a vehicle weight of more than 5,000 kg.
02:45 The M2 is less than 5,000 kg.
02:51 The N2 is a vehicle that is used to transport goods that weigh more than 3,500 kg,
02:57 but not more than 12,000 kg.
03:00 The N3 is a vehicle that is used to transport goods that weigh more than 12,000 kg.
03:06 So, the basic regulation of the UN Regulation R89 is not applicable
03:15 to any new model buses that are installed locally
03:20 or complete knockdown or what we usually call CKD,
03:25 as well as any vehicles that are in the status of being rebuilt or rebuilt with design.
03:31 Whereas, any new model buses that are in the status of new imported vehicles
03:37 or complete build-up, CBU,
03:40 and all new models for the category of goods vehicles,
03:44 including CBU or CKD, are required to comply with the UN Regulation R89.
03:53 So, we are already in the process of strengthening the category.
04:00 Thank you.
