Old car safety in Malaysia and the incentive plan

Millions of old vehicles are active on roads in Malaysia. Reports show 4.4 million cars are over twenty years old. This is a major road safety problem. These older cars do not have modern safety features. Things like airbags and electronic stability control are missing. This puts drivers and passengers in danger during an accident.

Is the New Scrappage Incentive Enough?

The government plans an incentive to help. Owners may get RM4,000 to scrap an old car. This is a good start for car safety. However, experts say this incentive alone is not the full answer. Malaysia also needs better public transport. Without good buses and trains, people will keep their old cars.

What to Do with Your Old Car

If you own an old car, its safety is a real concern. Frequent car inspection is necessary. Waiting for a policy can take time. Many owners choose to sell their old car. They can use a hassle free service to get a free car valuation. This helps them understand their car's price. They can then trade in for a safer, newer car.
