Puspakom has announced the temporary closure of its Glenmarie, Johor Bahru, Cheras and Taman Daya (Johor) branches for the disinfection and sanitisation process. The outlets will remain closed until further notice.
The Glenmarie and JB branches have been shut since July 30, and the latter’s closure includes all mobile inspection for Johor. The Taman Daya branch closure is from August 1, while Cheras will be closed from today onwards.
As usual, all payment made in advance for appointments scheduled during the closure will be automatically refunded. One will have to make new appointments when the branches reopen. Should you receive it, ignore the MyPuspakom appointment reminder.
However, there are some options for those who have appointments at Glenmarie and JB. For Glenmarie customers, you can bring your appointment slip and walk-in at Puspakom branches at PJ and Padang Jawa. JB customers can opt to do the same at branches in Pasir Gudang, Senai and Kluang. If you opt to walk-in at alternative branches, payment must be made there, as your original payment would be auto-refunded.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Can anyone explain what is the rationale for opening Puspakom and mechanic workshops,while car showrooms and car accessory shops are still banned?
If your car alarm is faulty and disturb your neighbours at night,do you look for Menteri Wee?
What happens to people who have already traded in their used car,but waiting for new cars to be registered and collected at showrooms? Again look for Wee ka Siong?
The virus is everywhere,thats why KJ is ramping up his slow vaccination drive.
By the time the ban is lifted,many dealers are on the verge of economic collapse.Imagine used car dealers with 100 over cars rotting in the sun,while the salesmen play snake and ladder.
Perhaps,it may make some sense to allow fully vaccinated people to operate and visit showrooms with strict sops in place.
Remember,covid wont disappear overnight.We have to put food on the table while avoiding covid at all cost.
“.We have to put food on the table” is EXACTLY why Puspakom is has to reopen ahead of others, mainly is to cater for commercial vehicles. Do remember the lorries & trucks that brings those foodstuff to you have to be twice yearly inspected to ensure their safe & proper operations. Car showrooms & accessory shops are superfluous and non-essential plus they are a hub for Covid transmissions.
I don’t see the logic to your concerns as you’re flipflopping around. Are you going on about new car dealers or “used car dealers with 100 over cars rotting in the sun”??? Which financially sane “dealers are on the verge of economic collapse” would keep “salesmen play snake and ladder”??? Maybe your boss perhaps. So aren’t you glad despite “play snake and ladder” here, you still have a job and getting paid???
Reopening has to be done on certain conditions and has to look at the wider scale in the community, not just your selfish own. The Covid Taskforce are doing everything spot on to manage and balance the situation, we don’t want to copy England’s folly of early reopening which saw huge jumps in cases despite the mass vaccinations. Speaking of which unlike your accusation, KJ is doing a fantastic job at this, which even got the commendation from the First Lady of Singapore.
Compared to your harsh words, a world leader’s glowing tribute carries far far far more weight.
