Uncertainty over lorry brake checks.
in The Star, (26 January 2026), p. 7. (Call Number: UNSPECIFIED)
Abstract
Transport ope- rators are asking for more clarity
over the enforcement of the new
brake parameter for lorries, saying more engagement is needed
before its planned rollout on
March 1.
While supporting efforts to
enhance road safety, Selangor
and Kuala Lumpur Lorry Operators Association secretary-general
Alvin Choong said older lorries
may require major modifications
to comply with the ruling. He also proposed a phased
enforcement period, beginning
with newer trucks, to allow older
vehicles to adjust accordingly. According to Choong, most
commercial vehicle operators are
in the dark on this, with little to
no information given on the requirement.
