Govt appoints more companies to ease Puspakom inspection backlog

KUALA LUMPUR: The Transport Ministry has appointed additional Motor Vehicle Inspection Centres to carry out inspections specifically for vehicle ownership transfers involving private vehicles, in a move to reduce congestion at existing Puspakom branches.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the initiative is part of the government’s strategy to expand the availability of inspection services in the market while addressing the long-standing issue of overcrowding at centres that also handle routine checks for commercial vehicles.

“In the first phase, seven companies were offered the opportunity to provide M.V.15 inspections nationwide. Four have accepted the offer,” he said in a statement.

They are Carro Technology Sdn Bhd, Carsome Academy Sdn Bhd, Wawasan Bintang Sdn Bhd and Beriman Gold Sdn Bhd.
