Call To Change Tint On Windscreens Before Buying Imported Cars

BUTTERWORTH, June 9 (Bernama) -- Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy today advised buyers of imported cars to get the vehicle supplier to change the opacity of the dark tinted film on the vehicle windscreens and windowpanes to the permissible limit before the purchase.

He said the buyers could not escape adhering to the ruling on the permissible visual transmission by stating that imported cars had dark tinted windscreens and windowpanes.

They should adhere to the ruling that required the permissible visual transmission for windscreens to be 70 per cent and for windowpanes to be 50 per cent, he told reporters after launching the use of the credit card for payment at Road Transport Department (JPJ) counters nationwide, at the Penang JPJ headquarters in Seberang Jaya, here.
