Beginning January 1, 2025, new motorcycles above 150 cc sold in Malaysia must be equipped with ABS. Following a two-year study by Malaysian Ministry of Transport, this is a mandatory requirement in order to reduce the increasing number of motorcycle-related deaths.
As reported by The Star, “ABS can reduce motorcycle accidents and deaths by up to 30 percent. It helps to prevent skidding so that riders do not lose control of their motorcycles,” said Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) chairman, Dr Wong Shaw Voon.
ABS was previously not mandatory for motorcycles sold in Malaysia, but two-wheelers with an engine capacity typically above 250 cc are “international” models sold in every market. Thus, motorcycle with larger engine capacities come standard with ABS in Malaysia.
This follows a 2022 report where previous transport minister transport minister Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong said motorcycle ABS would be made mandatory in Malaysia after a study by MIROS. In Europe, motorcycle ABS for motorcycles above 125 cc was made mandatory in 2016, while smaller engined motorcycles and scooters were required to have ABS or Combined Braking System (CBS).
It was already announced 2 years ago!!… why another announcement?

What’s the point when mat rempits don’t even use the basic brakes? They think they more lives than their oyen pet cats at home or have deity protection
The point is those that are not rempit are also protected
Mat rempits..are brainwashed like Tom Cruise..doing Mission Impossible stunts to cheat death,but ultimately die prematurely or wheel chair bound for life.
Mat rempits is like hardcore dadah addiction.No amount of education,persuasion,crying from loved ones will work.
In China,have u seen any mat China rempit problem?
Before,they even gather to race..they r rounded up by intelligence officers,bundled into unmarked vans,sent to the Siberian border shivering in their underwears.
Send pictures of people in China send to Siberia.
Redundant to compares funan with cathay. steppe tribe always racing on horseback no interest on 2 wheelers.
Mat rempit not include in the calculation. No meaning. Improve 30%, not prevent 100%..
by 2025, 150cc bikes without ABS from yesteryears will drop in resale value. so better sell of your soon to be dinosaur bikes.
this took 2 years of studies?
Or else how to justify salary?
Good decision! Like Modenas Bajaj Pulsars
Talk cock lah. Axia E above 250cc also no ABS
Mat rempit not include in the calculation. No meaning. Improve 30%, not prevent 100%..
