from the public since it was announced two days ago. The new guidelines allow the minimum visible light transmission levels of the rear side windows and rear windscreen to be lowered beyond theabout. The department says that the new ruling will make enforcement work tougher and could potentially affect the safety of its personnel, as officers will no longer be able to sight a car’s rear passengers during inspection.
“Some supported our move, and some didn’t — we respect all their views, but what has been decided upon has already taken into account all considerations and factors to amend the ruling,” he said. “Some countries set the permissible VLT level for the rear at 25-35%, while some do not set a percentage at all. What we have decided on is in line with international regulations. For example, we are following Japan, which does not set a VLT percentage for the rear,” he said.
Loke said a committee had been set up to approve these applications. He explained that this was to ensure there was no power abuse by the transport minister or the director-general, especially as applicants have to pay RM5,000 fee for a two-year permit if approval is granted.Anthony Lim believes that nothing is better than a good smoke and a car with character, with good handling aspects being top of the prize heap.
I strongly disagree with this new regulations, mainly for safety purposes. Most drivers are incompetent enough, this will just make things worse.
