Kemenhub Urges Public to Use Licensed, Roadworthy Vehicles

Market Impact

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 25): Malaysia should take note of Indonesia’s call for the public to ensure vehicles are licensed and roadworthy before use, particularly for public transport carrying multiple passengers. Indonesia’s Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) emphasized this ahead of the upcoming Eid al-Adha holiday travel period.

The ministry’s Director-General of Land Transportation, Aan Suhanan, stressed the importance of using licensed and roadworthy vehicles to guarantee safe travel, especially when transporting large numbers of passengers. He urged bus users to verify that their vehicles have valid permits and periodic inspection results.

Details not yet available on how this advisory may directly impact Malaysian transport operators or travelers. However, Kemenhub warned it would take strict action against bus operators found using vehicles with expired permits or inspection documents. The public is advised to check vehicle status via the Spionam or Mitra Darat apps by entering the vehicle’s license plate number.

Aan also reminded operators to ensure their drivers are healthy and well-rested before operating vehicles. The ministry’s initiative aims to enhance road safety for all users during peak travel seasons.
