: Effective tomorrow , the rear side windows and windshield of private cars may be fully tinted, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook.As for the front side windows and windshield, the level stays at 70% and 50%.
Loke noted that too dark a tint for the driver’s side could obstruct vision and ability to control the vehicle. “For each application, the service fee is RM50. An approved application will be charged a fee of RM5,000 for a period of two years,“ he said.According to Loke, the government could collect about RM6 million annually from the fees.
“I look at the profile of the people who obtained the approval, based on the factor of security, and most of them were those with means. So I’m sure that if the fees are imposed, they could well afford it, which would be income for the government,“ he said.
