The closed-circuit television cameras outside the Kuala Lumpur International Airport departure hall were not switched on during the shoot-out.Federal Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Mohd Bakri Zinin said checks showed the CCTVs were switched on again after the five-minute shoot-out.
"It has hampered police investigations. We were hoping that the footages from the CCTVs could have provided us with information about the gunmen," Bakri said.
"What's the point of having CCTVs if they are not switched on? It is not for decorative purposes."Malaysia Airports Berhad senior general manager (operations) Datuk Azmi Murad refused to comment on the CCTVs.
"This is a police case. Let the police comment on this," he said.
When pressed further, he said the CCTVs were operated by it.
Two CCTVs are visible at the driveway outside the departure hall.

You know why we need CCTVs?
It's not for crime control;
It's a crime itself.
Someone gets rich, whenever there's an opportunity.
Hidup Barisan; Hidup Umno!

In all likelihood the cctvs were not switched on bcos they CAN'T be switched on, that is to say, they were spoilt
120 millions CCTV!? WTF, KNN. This is daylight robbery.
The CCTV, casing, cabling and CCTV image repository, won't cost more than RM10,000 per site.
RM 120mils means 12,000 units. And this is insane expensive.
And previous Selangor state government will spend 120 mils on 414 unit, or RM289,855 per unit. WTF
Now this one is screw the people better than screw driver markup.
The 120 millions contract alst 20 years.
RM289,855 per CCTV for 20 years = RM14,492 maintenance per year per CCTV.
Apparently, the CCTV doesn't save cost to beat crime, but a crime itself.
Moo_t,
Great mathematics.
A CCTV cost less than RM5,000 and rental is RM15,000 per annum. That's good profit.
hang the EXCO responsible for high sky cctv on lamp post to monitor day to day crime.
sure the decision maker have made tonnes to money$$$$... and the BABA now suffering, waiting to be hanged in public!
don't know whether to throw up or laugh when you see the type of abuse the Rakyat takes
It's like being raped and then asked to make it sound like you are having lots of fun being raped!
BTW dear bloggers or those with cctvs at home to "deter" buyrglars?
An honest insurance adjuster told me not to waste my money.
He has been to several homes with with cctvs which are not burgled but ROBBED.
(diff is burglars steal when you are away but robbers confront you mano a mano)
It seems robbers wait for you to come home and tell you to disarm the cctv (sometimes the old or very young folks left at home) as they don't want to be "seen" on camera!
wtf is happening with crime prevention in msia (NOT!)
Ling Ling Chatt,
We hope the new Pakatan govt will do better and expose all those corrupts.
Gobloking,
But I still think have a cctv at home is necessary.
OMG!!!
