00:00Can you name one company that has experience in the vehicle inspection industry?
00:07There is no company in Malaysia that has experience in vehicle inspection
00:11because in the past, vehicle inspection was a monopoly.
00:14It was only one company.
00:16Transport Minister Lok Siu Fok defended the government's decision to appoint three companies
00:22to carry out motor vehicle inspection services,
00:26ending Puspakom's longstanding monopoly of the industry.
00:32Lok said the vehicle inspection industry was now open to any company
00:37and that a free market allows other firms to apply to provide vehicle inspection services.
00:46We are now opening this market to more players in the industry, more companies.
00:52And what we want to see is their ability to provide that facility.
00:56Previously, Putrajayaan appointed Wawasan Pintang, Pakatan Petroleum and Beriman Gold
01:03to carry out motor vehicle inspections alongside Puspakom.
01:07A former past youth leader had questioned the selection of one of the companies,
01:12arguing that it was only eight months old and had no track record.
01:18The ministry later said a specific registration period
01:22with the company's Commission of Malaysia was not a requirement for appointment.
