MITI has gone back on its decision to implement a Vehicle End-of-Life Policy for now. An intention to implement such a policy had been announced when the ministry released its NAP Review 2009 earlier this month. The Ministry of Transport was to come up with a road map of the policy’s implementation, but the first step was to introduce a mandatory vehicle inspection for your road tax to be renewed annually.
So we don’t have to worry about them taking away our old vehicles after a certain amount of years, or being hassled with an inspection every year. Personally I feel that we are not ready financially for a scrap policy, but vehicle inspection could have been a good idea, if implemented with spaced out intervals such as every 3 years instead of every year. It’s good news but not all good news, as the ban on used part imports from June 2011 still stays.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express mixed feelings about the vehicle scrap policy, with many critics highlighting it as a flip-flop decision driven by political motives and protectionism for Proton. Several emphasize that the policy's timing is poor and that it unfairly targets old car owners and second-hand parts dealers, threatening the local industry and raising safety concerns due to unavailability of spare parts. Supporters see scrapping as necessary for safety and environmental reasons, but agree the policy should be implemented gradually with proper planning. Many call for better government communication and systematic regulation updates. Overall, sentiments reflect frustration over inconsistent policies, government inefficiency, and fears of economic and industry decline, while some appreciate the temporary halt, hoping for more comprehensive future solutions.
