Current (left) and reported new tint regulations effective November 1.
VLT expressed in percentages; the lower the number, the darker the tint
JPJ has postponed the implementation of the previously announced new tint rules to May 1, 2015, according to a report by The Star. The new date is a full six months after the original November 1, 2014 date when the new tint rules were supposed to come into effect.
The new rules specify minimum permissible visible light transmission (VLT) levels of 70% for the windscreen, 50% for the front side windows and 30% for all other windows (rear side windows and rear screen).
The current rules specify 70% VLT for the windscreen and 50% VLT for all other windows (all side windows and the rear screen).
JPJ director-general Datuk Seri Ismail Ahmad said this is so that owners of imported cars would have more time to get their cars compliant with the new rules.
Unfortunately, this also means that existing owners who are already compliant with the current tint rules have to wait another six months to “upgrade” to darker tint for their rear side windows and rear screen.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
it’s a great news for those illegal tinting to change to another new tint, as it is now give six month times for them to change
It is really reasonable enough.
So which rules should we follow now?
The left or the right?
none, we follow our own rules.
Nice say bro!
Lower the standard, they can’t take bribe as much as last time.
It is all about MONEY!!!
100% agreed
what do you agreed?
Joke of the Day:
Current Rules: 50 marks to pass
Sekarang: 50 markah boleh LULUS
New Rules (May1,15): 30 marks to pass
Undang-undang Baru (1-May-15): 30 markah boleh LULUS
Remarks: Existing student failed at 49 marks (50 only pass), they need to study even harder in order to have 30 marks to passed the exam (29 failed).
Pelajar sekarang GAGAL pada 49 markah, mereka kena belajar lebih kuat lagi supaya boleh LULUS pada 30 markah sahaja apabila undang undang baru diluluskan.

Implementation date keep changing. At least acknowledge the new tint ruling is valid from now onward until 1st May 2015, so car owners can have a peace of mind when upgrading their tint in an eventual manner.
Hopefully while it is postponed, JPJ review it back to suit our local condition by looking from different perspectives. It’s unfair to ban something that has more good points compared to the bad ones. Cars are like second homes to esp city people. They have the right to have privacy inside it.
Bolehland more like Postponeland…
Rubbish!! New rule is loosen than current rule, so what is the reason “owners of imported cars would have more time to get their cars compliant with the new rules.”???
If a car not compliant with new rules, then confirm not compliant to current rules also.
Just a simple tint wasting so much time and made so much of confusion.
What JPJ should do is, implement new rule immediately, but enforcement started May 2015.
Between now and May 2015 is transition period, if a car get caught for not compliant with new rules will not be fined, but it need to be re-tint, and send to Puspakom to confirm new tint is compliant with new rules.
Could not agree more with you. JPJ is bull shitting again, the six months postponement is for some of its corrupted officers to “cari makan”. It’s common knowledge, especially among those Alphard owners, whenever their vehicles were flagged down by JPJ enforcement officers, a 50 ringgit note would see them off the hook.
Wayne, agree with you. such a simple thing they also can’t think ! this postponement is not the 1st time. I am just sick of the authorities. come next year….postpone again.
If current imported car already comply with current rules..then no need to do anything since the new rule is less stringent.
Go eat shit and die dude!!!! No one is gonna respect you for sure.
This one got 6 months notice whereelse petrol increase announcement only give 6 hours. Now I know where their priorities lie
It’s all about the money. GST comes in April, tint frenzy in May.
Usual tint shops get material from wholesalers.
Wholesaler + tint shop = 6%+6%=12%
Or
Wholesaler + dealer + tint shop = 6%+6%+6%=18%
2% or 8% gain compared to 10% one time sale tax
Dude, gst doesn’t work like that.
It’s just 6%.
No +6%+6%+6%+6%+6%+6%
it’s 6% compounded everytime knowing how people want to take advantage.
If it’s 6% compunded everything,mother you know it’s time to head elsewhere for your tint.
By right it is supposed to be 6% of the total value of the product/service.
If your product is valued at rm100, then consumer pays rm106 regardless of how many wholesalers or channels in between.
GST is Value Add Tax.. The material or Tint itself only 6% coz you are the one who pay it. Pleased bear in your mind “GST IS CONSUMER COMMITMENT” so Wholesaler & Tint Shop just act as GST collection agent.
1st wholesaler paid to Govt on behalf tint shop than claim back from Tint Shop.
2nd Tint Shop claim back from you.
But you are not charge GST solely on TINT, your GST charger should include Installation Fee as well coz of this GST also known as Value Add Tax..
Why do you need more time to comply with the new rules?
Existing rules already conform with the new rules.
As usual… Didn’t give them time to meet latest Tinted Rule, they would “BISING” & could become viral in social media.. Now give them time also “BISING”…
Malaysia Oh Malaysia
R
Does it make sense for the delayed/postponed? Obviously not to be honest.
weird la u guys…
when petrol hikes immediately, complain
when tint delay also complain
what do u guys want actually?
what if they start hunting dark tints today? will u complain?
A shoot B, B shoot A, A shoot B back…
We better have C to do the job rather wasting time A & B
brader…please understand the issue before commenting.
The new rules is more relax than the old rules.
Why do you need extra time to comply? Comply to what?
B@##%!IT
its just for JPJ to have 6 more months to profit from summons to cars in compliant with the new rules!
bloodsuckers!!!!!!
Last year say this year, this year say next year, next year say following year. Come following year, all forgotten.
Sounds familiar isn’t it?
EURO 4 diesel, local made hybrid car, local made EV, and car price reduction are all delayed.
What about those who already follow the 70-50-30 ruling after the Nov 2014 announcement? What they gonna do? Pay for tinting again?
Think JPJ is sitting on their brains for too long.
Great work JPJ!!
This shows that the government has been listening to the Rakyats woes, and decided to allow more time for the rakyat to change their tints to comply with the laws. Otherwise, they have to pay the fines which the government obviously doesnt want as it might burden the rakyat even more
Another great example set by the Najib administration! Respect!
What rubbish are you talking about?
something a non tax payer like you won’t understand
i understand…i pity but i masuk pocket…end of day….sorry la u guys…asal i rich i happy
Or it’s you that dont understand….
Kamu mabuk ketum eh……peraturan baru membenarkan tinted yg lebih gelap la…..
expected….come May 15 another postpone…
This makes ZERO sense. The new rules allow DARKER tints, not lighter. 6 months to get the imports conform to WHAT exactly?!?! They are already conforming NOW. So sad what our country has become…
Another silly decision and reason from JPJ.
How would this allow more time for motorists to comply to new tinting rules when the new ruling allows higher level of tinting?
It makes life difficult for car owners, when your car complies to the new ruling but not the existing one.
Don’t worry folks, come 1st of May 2015, another postponement will be given.
The reason will be a further review will be needed and a study group to Antartica will be made to study the effect of car tint on the sun over there.
for now is it 70% front windscreen and others 50% ?
New rulling is 70%, 50%, 30%
So what is correct now ?
its damn confusing ! So if we are at a road block what is what ? Its another ” grey ” ruling again !
JPJ wake up…don’t do confusing announcements !
excerpt: (JPJ director-general Datuk Seri Ismail Ahmad said this is so that owners of imported cars would have more time to get their cars compliant with the new rules)
What the heck is he talking about?
as of yesterday, all cars on malaysian raods are supposed to already adhere to the existing rules of :
EXISTING
front windscreen/front right & left/rear right & left / rear windscreen = 70/50&50/50&50/50
NEW
front windscreen/front right & left/rear right & left / rear windscreen = 70/50&50/30&30/30
Existing owners’ cars must already be compliant with existing rules.
If new rule is effective 1Nov2014, wef 1Nov2104 morning, all car owners who wishes to upgrade to draker tint just do so on 1Nov2014. What grace period is this? JPJ is just givinbg those car owners who are already flouting the rules to change darker tints to lighter tints? or what? Paultan.org, pls explain further.
We don’t know either. That’s why we said “Unfortunately, this also means that existing owners who are already compliant with the current tint rules have to wait another six months to “upgrade” to darker tint for their rear side windows and rear screen.”
we don’t need 6 months to change the tint.
imported cars are already compliant to the new ruling.
so giving imported cars what time to change ???
some big shot complains, and they are shivering already….
“JPJ director-general Datuk Seri Ismail Ahmad said this is so that owners of imported cars would have more time to get their cars compliant with the new rules.”
I thought now is loosing the rules rather than tighten the rules of tint (50% to 30% for rear windows)
Why need to give more time to compliant?
Wake up Datuk!
Very simple, they just postpone the new rule so that they can make money for the last operation before May 2015.What the hell is that? AP imported car origin with black rear glass which can pass the new rules and now postponed to next May 2015, what to compliant with on next May 2015??? Take out the original black glass at the moment and put it back on next May 2015??? What is in their mind actually???
I don’t understand…if those imported car rear wind screen only allowed 20% light thru, then old or new ruling still non compliant….maybe better just go ahead with new ruling but enforcement will start from 1st May 2015, thereby giving those imported cars ample time to change their rear windscreen….no need to postpone….
I don’t get it. If the imported cars ( just like local cars ) comply with current rules why would they need more time to comply new rules?
Ridiculous reason for the postponement!!
To be honest, I think the PIC in that department screwed up on fixing the wrong standard..terlanjuk cakap n get F… By someone from top..no choice, need to delayed as an excuse to avoid been labeled U-Turn… TIM: this is Malaysia..live with it lah..
Most car windscreens already come with 20% tint. So how to comply with the ruling?
Shouldnt the tint shops be made to buy the light transitivity meters, all will say comply for sure…
Do like what usually happens at Puspakom. Non compliant tint, just rip it off from the windscreen. Why need additional time to comply for a task that can be completed in a minute? Fishy right?
Secondly, the interest of a few vs total current vehicle owners in Malaysia. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to defer the implementation date to know who benefit the most from this rule change. For god sake, this change is a good move & not a worse off move. The directive to differ the implementation date itself is suspicious. Kinda makes you question the need to differ & the objective of this move no?
New or old..no difference. People are already tinting at least 50% on all sides..adding 20% at the back is hardly any difference. Front windscreen especially unless u tint totally clear it will not pass. 50% windscreen and 30% everywhere else is the best.
Why can’t you implement the new rule for tints as plan 1st November 2014 and provide the additional timeline of six months for the owners of imported cars in order for them to have more time to get their cars compliant with the new rules.
Its a simple add on to the new tint rule which apart from the above should not be delayed.
JPJ director-general Datuk Seri Ismail Ahmad said this is so that owners of imported cars would have more time to get their cars compliant with the new rules
What does the above statement imply? Does it mean that imported cars would be exempted from the Nov 1 JPJ nationwide enforcement drive? or does JPJ would change the nationwide enforcement drive to May 1 2015. I am confused. Someone in the know please explain.
Useless regulation. Windows tint too dangerous? How many accident cause by it? Most of the accident cause by careless driver. Only minor by vehicle. How many of u involve in accident cause by windows tint? Cause by minor modding? The greatest danger comes from driver. Follow by tyre, brakes, poor lighting, handling & road condition. Those vip windows damn dark. How they give way for ‘dangerous vehicle’ for them? For safety of vip? Any gun shoot happen in our country? Our climate somemore very hot. Without tint its very dangerous to drive with glare. Snatch thief easily can identify valuable thing in ur vehicle. Some area suffer so much when they park their car out of condo, apartment. Many of my friends cars window break by thief. After tint their screen the problem reduce a lot. The tint make your inner vehicle protected against sun. Our climate very hot. Not like other country. This is all about money. Summon here & there. Its not about safety. Ever wonder accident cause by heavy vehicle took many lives. Poor visibility bcoz their lorry damn fast & covered by mud. Even hard to see their rear brake light. How JPJ respond about this?
Referring to the reason why we have dark tint regulation, it means from now till apr 2015, it is UNSAFE to drive with rear windows tinted at 50%. Only after may 2015, automatically it becomes SAFE to drive with darker tint at 30%. ada logik ka?
Most buses are tinted beyond this. Why is driving a bus OK to have darker tint than a small car?
F&@% this shit. Superhot weather, gelap sikit mau kompaun. As far as I know nobody was cheated & NO Incident, NOT EVEN 1 Freakin Incident either robbery or accident due to dark tinted glass.
Kedaulatan kpd Undang-undang, thats the 1st principle of our Rukun Negara. So let it apply to all citizen who reside in this bolehland. We all would like to see Rosmah in her mercedes with her multi million Jewellery & handbag. Oh yeah!
Is this new rule take effect ?
any update/news on this issue?
Updates on this matter please
New ruling has taken effect with slight different. VLT for windshield 70%, driver side window 50% and the rest 30%. Check at JPJ website.
Thanks. I did look into jpj website, and it’s not updated with the new ruling of percentage. It’s still with the previous percentage of light through the window.
