Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai
KUALA LUMPUR: A comprehensive audit will be carried out on the entire chain of public transport services, including vehicle design, construction, approval and inspection procedures, in the interest of passenger safety. Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the audit, to be conducted and reported in the first quarter of 2017, would also cover record keeping of the relevant agencies.
As part of the increased scrutiny, he said the ministry was also in the process of forming the Malaysian Transport Safety Board (MTSB) which would be an independent and transparent body to investigate major safety incidents.
