KUALA LUMPUR — Foreign vehicles with dark window tints will not be allowed to enter Malaysia.

 

Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Aziz Kaprawi said the Road Transport Department (RTD) will be instructed to carry out the directive as dark window tints were a clear danger.

 

This is in response to concerns that the foreign vehicles entering the country might bring in drug traffickers and Islamic State militant group.

 

“RTD will take immediate action in barring foreign vehicles with dark window tints from entering Malaysia.“Those entering Malaysia will have to remove the dark window tint of their vehicles,” he told the Dewan Negara today in reply to Senator Abdullah Mat Yassin.

 

The issue of car-window tinting, mainly to reduce glare and help control the temperature inside the vehicle - has been divisive for many years.

 

Malaysian motorists who tint their car windows and screen must adhere to Rule 5(1) and Rule 5(3) Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Certain Glasses) Amendment 2000 - a law that has been widely ignored.

 

The permissible tint levels are a minimum of 70 per cent visible light transmission levels for the front windscreen and 50 per cent for other windows.

I think it is damn funny....  they say that foreign vehicles have dark window tints BUT their own local vehicles are the ones who have darker window tints than us.

What's important is this:

"Peraturan bagi kenderaan dan pemandu asing yang memasuki Malaysia adalah berdasarkan Motor Vehicles (International Circulation ) Rules 1967."

"Rules for foreign vehicles and drivers entering Malaysia are based on Motor Vehicles (International Circulation) Rules 1967."

 

"However, this rule is exempted from motor vehicles from Singapore and Brunei."

It is their country so they make the rules and if we want to step in we are required to abide. Same applies the other way round. Of course there are a few people who tries to flaunt it and a fractions of these will be caught. I don't see why our mood needs to be affected then wear our keyboard warrior helmet since it is beyond our control. 

[Jamesc]

Hopefully many cars cannot go in so less jam for the petrol and massage trips for the deserving people.

 

Nice one Bolehland.
