The Transport Minister said the Puspakom concession would end on Aug 31, 2024, which means parties interested in vehicle inspection services will be invited to send in applications in the first quarter of 2024.
“The decision is in line with the government’s desire to create a competitive service environment and facilitate all Malaysians,” Loke said at a press conference Friday (March 24).
“This decision means that Puspakom will no longer be the sole provider of vehicle inspection services on behalf of the Road Transport Department (JPJ) from Sept 1, 2024,” he added.
