The government says it has no concrete plans to introduce a Cash for Clunkers programme, in which vehicles over a decade old can be scrapped in exchange for cash rebates, Malay Mail reports.
Transport minister Anthony Loke said that his earlier remarks on the matter may have been misinterpreted, and clarified that the ministry was only studying the programme’s feasibility. On June 13, Loke reportedly said the that the programme could be revived to reduce the number of old vehicles on the road.
The decision to call off the study was made following concerns raised by the public over the benefits of the programme. “Since my remark has triggered public outcry, I have decided to call the study off and postpone it indefinitely because it seems like we are not ready,” he said.
Previously, the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) had proposed a Vehicle End of Life policy that would be implemented though a Cash for Clunkers scrappage scheme. Under the programme, owners of vehicles aged 10 years or more would be given a rebate of up to RM5,000 when they trade in their vehicles (regardless of brand) for a new one from any local OEM producer.
When first proposed, the policy was looking at requiring owners of vehicles aged 15 years or older to bring them for mandatory annual inspections as a requirement for road tax renewal, with failure to pass the inspection requiring the vehicle to be repaired until it is able to pass the inspection.

Fake new again . Malaysia car excise duty 6% , import tax 6% sales tax 10% , total 26% .
Malaysian have the cheapest car price in the world.
Getting old polluting cars of the road is a good idea, but not a priority now. Nevertheless we should have mandatory road worthy JPJ inspections every 5 years or so. Catch those guys with bald tyres, broken brakes and what not. They are the ones causing accidents and are a danger to others.
Tyres and Parts also kena high tax, you think ppl like to endanger themselves and drift with bald tyre ah?
pastikan puspakom tidak monopoli.
ya. Malaysia Competition Commission MyCC must reprimand puspakom.
The biggest pollution comes from Euro 2 Ron 95 petrol and Euro 2 Diesel.
nak buat ini…kuranglah harga kereta dulu
Yeah, speaking of which, how come Euro 3/4 is still not implemented? Speaking of cars & cars but no better fuel quality meh? :D
My opinion is…. set a regulation that all cars with more than 10 years will have to go for an on-road fitness test
Good job Anthony Loke!
