The Selangor state government is planning to install 200 CCTV around Klang Valley starting from early next year.
Reasons:
To monitor criminal activities, illegal dumpling and haphazard parking.
Locations:
Crime-prone area.
Costs:
Leasing of CCTVs and equipments will cost RM3 million a year.

The interesting question is - Is it necessary to do so?
I watched a documentary on the Discovery channel some time ago which highlighted London being a city filled with CCTVs and cameras. May be Selangor, self-proclaimed as the most developed state in Malaysia, would like to emulate London. Basically there are pros and cons and in this case, hopefully the pros will outweight the cons.
