Government Pulls Back Plan On Vehicle End Life Policy

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 6 (Bernama) -- The government has agreed to pull back the introduction of an end of life policy for vehicles after taking into account the people's views and feedback.
Since the announcement of the plan, the government has been receiving many complaints from the people who are generally not agreeable to the mandatory annual comprehensive inspection as requirement for road tax renewal for vehicles aged 15 years or older, a statement from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) said Friday.
On October 28, MITI had announced the new National Automotive Policy (NAP) which included the Vehicle End Of Life Policy which will see the introduction of a mandatory annual check-up of cars 15-years and above as a requirement for road tax renewal.

tunku :THANK YOU GOVERNMENT
at the same time we hope those who are driving 15 years old and above vehicles to make sure that their machines are safe to drive.

Even the DPM has recently said to ask the public to give feedback on rejection of the 15-year-old car policy. Isn't that putting the car-before-the-people? Make the study before making the policy, Muhyiddin. Anyway, if it's true, about this reverse-gear, then it's great.Leave us old timers alone.If the car runs, why bother the owner ? Don't give any more reasons to despise the BN government.

If we really want to safe the environment we must:

1. Required all vehicles to be installed by the manufacturer with catalic converter. This would reduce the release of carbon into the environment.Hundreds of tons of carbon could be reduced per year.

2. Every car should be required to go for yearly emission inspection.

3. Car owner should be only required to pay as low as RM10 only per annual inspection.
