PUTRAJAYA: The Cabinet has decided that vehicle inspection services will be opened to all parties who meet the conditions once Puspakom’s concession ends on Aug 31, 2024, says Anthony Loke.
The Transport Minister said the Puspakom concession would end on Aug 31, 2024, which means parties interested in vehicle inspection services will be invited to send in applications in the first quarter of 2024.
“The decision is in line with the government’s desire to create a competitive service environment and facilitate all Malaysians,” Loke said at a press conference Friday (March 24).
“This decision means that Puspakom will no longer be the sole provider of vehicle inspection services on behalf of the Road Transport Department (JPJ) from Sept 1, 2024,” he added.
Puspakom is Malaysia’s first and only comprehensive national vehicle inspection company appointed by the government to undertake all mandatory inspections for both commercial and private vehicles.
Incorporated in 1994, it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of DRB-Hicom Bhd.
