It was reported earlier this week that private cars and motorcycles with road tax that has expired for a period of no more than three years will be able to renew their road tax without having to undergo a Puspakom inspection, beginning today. This has now been confirmed by transport minister Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong.
Wee said the government made the decision after taking into account vehicle owners’ requests for a relaxation as some faced financial constraints in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. He said that based on records, there are more than 4.27 million vehicles with expired road tax of within one to three years.
“Vehicle owners whose road tax expires in less than three years or 36 months can continue to make renewals,” he said yesterday at a press conference after witnessing the signing of a strategic collaboration programme between the JPJ, Universiti Teknologi Mara, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and the Department of Skills Development in Putrajaya, reported by Bernama.
The original grace period for an expired road tax before the Puspakom inspection is mandatory is one year.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Those cars no longer roadworthy… kenot puspakom lulus. now kereta potong, klon, cilok back hepily..this kinda leader endangered our lives and dear family. Faster go lock my backdoor
You forget, these are for cars still roadworthy 3 years ago. If want to transfer or sell, still need to go for Puspakom checks. Many angry voters complaint about Puspakom unnecessary and waste of money checking so his excellent Dr Wee cut out this waste and cronyism. Well done Dr Wee! That is why you’re the best Transport Minister unlike the previous useless and money-minded one. His stupidity still felt with the many cars on the road with super black tint which endangers our lives and dear family. We hope he and his equally useless colleagues never come back again.
Emotional mule is happily looking forward to get the dangling carrot
Good idea dear minister…always think of the rakyat…
Due to covid? 3 years ago no covid la….it is getting more lawless in this country
Yes bro. Big car using emergency lane to escape jam and knock motor down, it is the motor riders fault. The Camry driver is innocent because he got big car.
Its about time they abolish puspakom monopoly. New trucks and buses if serviced by authorised dealers should be exempted from puspakom inspection.
