00:00PUSPACOM no longer allows multiple slots for the same registration number.
00:13For example, if a vehicle with the registration number ABC123 has 4 slots, only 1 slot will be allowed.
00:23This step is taken to avoid misuse by middlemen or runners who are found to be selling slots to other parties for excessive profits.
00:34I also had a driver who made a direct complaint to me.
00:41He said, if it fails, he wants to make a second registration number.
00:45Wait for a long time.
00:47Why is that? Because there are people who misuse the registration number system.
00:53They make several slots, even though they are useless.
00:56Because they know that if they fail the first time, they can get a second slot.
01:01But they may make up to 2 or 3 slots.
01:03And they know that many people are waiting for a long time.
01:05So if they get the slot, they are useless, they sell the slot.
01:10The slot becomes a commodity.
01:12It becomes a selling item.
01:14And they get profits.
01:16So that's why many people don't get their slots to come and do an inspection.
01:25And those who come, if they come by walk-in,
01:29those who come in a hurry to get the slot,
01:32they have to pay a high price.
01:35Maybe hundreds of ringgit for 1 slot.
01:37So that's what we get, that a weakness in the system,
01:42and Puspakom has decided not to allow the same vehicle to make double slots on the same day.
01:51If they fail, they have to queue up again.
01:54To make sure that more people get their slots.
01:58Puspakom will also improve the inspection system by freezing the original inspection slots.
02:03In case it doesn't meet other requirements.
02:06These steps are taken to prevent the original slots from being misused or sold to other parties.
02:12It's the same as we said,
02:14if the slots have been placed, but they don't come.
02:18The slots will be frozen.
02:20For 1 hour.
02:211 hour.
02:22And after that, it will be opened to other people.
02:24So that they can't move.
02:26If sometimes they want to get the slots,
02:29they think that other people want to buy it,
02:31they will continue to sell the slots.
02:33So that's not allowed anymore.
02:35All Puspakom branches, except Langkawi and Pekan,
02:38will operate for 12 hours a day.
02:41Throughout March 2025.
02:43This adds 4 hours a day to the operating time.
02:48Puspakom will operate on Saturdays throughout March,
02:50in all Puspakom branches, except Langkawi and Pekan.
02:53The arrangement of heavy vehicle movement restrictions at the peak,
02:57starting on 19th February,
02:59as announced by the Malaysian Embassy,
03:02on the chosen Eid al-Adha,
03:04there will be restrictions for heavy vehicles
03:06that have made checkpoints at Puspakom during the restrictions.
03:10I am informed that heavy vehicles that have made checkpoints at Puspakom
03:14will start to gather at the checkpoints much earlier than the time of checkpoints.
03:18Because their vehicles cannot be on the Eid al-Adha,
03:22from 6.30am to 9.30am,
03:24and 4.30pm to 7.30pm.
03:27Contributing to difficulties at the checkpoints.
03:30In connection with that,
03:32the Ministry of Transport has discussed with the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Transport
03:36to consider the provision of clearance to heavy vehicles that need to be inspected at Puspakom.
03:42Vehicles involved may need to show proof of inspection at Puspakom
03:48to the relevant authorities.
03:50In any case, the Ministry of Transport advises the owners of commercial vehicles
03:54to plan their journeys and use alternative routes suggested by the Ministry of Transport
03:58at the time of the checkpoints.
04:00This means that
04:02even though there are roadbans on several highways,
04:05including the highway that leads to Puspakom,
04:11this means that if they have a place to stay,
04:15they can use the route.
04:17If it is stopped by the authorities,
04:20either by the police or by the GBJ,
04:23they only need to show the slip.
04:25Proof that they came for inspection.
04:27Then, that will be excluded from the inspection.
04:31The inspection time for vehicles is from 14 days to 30 days.
04:36At present,
04:37vehicles can undergo a temporary inspection at Puspakom
04:41as early as 14 days before the end of the LKM.
04:45In this regard,
04:46the Ministry of Transport has decided to extend this time to 30 days
04:50before the end of the LKM.
04:52This improvement aims to facilitate the owners of vehicles
04:56to plan the time for the temporary inspection
04:59as well as obtain a place to stay in Puspakom earlier.
05:03With this implementation,
05:05commercial vehicles can undergo an inspection within 30 days
05:08before the end of the LKM
05:11without violating the LKM route.
05:14The LKM time that will come
05:16will still be calculated based on the end of the previous LKM time
05:20even though the inspection was carried out earlier.
05:23The Ministry of Transport recommends commercial vehicles
05:26to take the opportunity to undergo an early inspection
05:29up to 30 days
05:30in order to avoid difficulties in obtaining an inspection slot.
05:34This action will not affect the LKM start time
05:37and will not cause damage to the owners of vehicles.
05:40This is another improvement.
05:42We start the date,
05:44which means 30 days before the end of the road tax break
05:47for 6 months.
05:50They can come and do the inspection.
05:53If they pass,
05:55they will have a 7-month break and will not lose money.
05:59In the past, many complained
06:01that there were no incentives
06:04if they came early.
06:06They waited until the last day.
06:08Maybe tomorrow when the road tax is over,
06:10they can do the inspection today.
06:12Now, we start early.
06:14But the road tax will not be lost.
06:16We will still use the start time.
06:21This is like renewing your passport.
06:25If you renew your passport early,
06:27it will not be easier to renew.
06:33It will be easier to withdraw your passport.
06:36It's the same concept.
06:38So, we allow up to 30 days
06:40so that the owners of vehicles can plan earlier.
06:44If they need to do the second test,
06:46they still have time.
06:48So that the road tax can still run
06:50if they need to do the second test.
06:52So, this is an improvement that we have decided.
06:56We hope that these steps
06:58can reduce the inconvenience
07:00in the vehicle inspection centers
07:02in the near future.
