Raya Aidilfitri is so close right now, we can all smell that rendang and lemang cooking up a storm across the country. PUSPAKOM wants to help you out by providing free voluntary vehicle inspection for all those who wish to check if their vehicles are up to its safety standards for that ‘balik kampung’ journey.
The 10-day period has already started and those interested can just head on over to any of the 54 PUSPAKOM vehicle inspection centres located around Malaysia from now until 2 June 2019 (except for Shah Alam and Pasir Gudang, unless you drive a bus or lorry).
There are also mobile inspection teams going around town to provide free inspections at several locations which are:
- Pasar Awam Berapit, Pulau Pinang & AEON Mall Nilai (26 May 2019)
- BHP Petrol, Karak (27 May 2019)
- Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs, Putrajaya (28 May 2019)
- Petronas Kerteh, Kuala Terengganu (28-29 May 2019)
- Unisel Bestari Jaya, Selangor (29 May 2019)
- Wisma DRB-HICOM, Shah Alam (30 May 2019)
PUSPAKOM is running this campaign free of charge in order to raise awareness about vehicle health to the owners. According to their findings, around 51% of private vehicles that were sent for voluntary vehicle inspections held previously did not meet company’s fixed inspection standards.
The most worrying out all the standard failures or parts of the car that weren’t functioning optimally were the brakes (35% failure rate), side slip test (30% failure rate), and emissions (10% failure rate).
Other inspections included in the campaign are tyres, side slip, suspension, emission, chassis, window tint, plus many more. For each vehicle sent for inspection during the campaign period, PUSPAKOM will donate RM2 to their charity of choice to help lower the burden during this special time of year.
To know more, head over to www.puspakom.com.my or check out their official Facebook page. Don’t worry, they won’t summon you if your car is not up to safety standards. They just want to help you if there’s anything wrong and you can get the right things fixed without comprising safety (and also to avoid getting cheated at workshops).
