JPJ rules anger Sarawak cargo transporters

MIRI: Cargo transporters in Sarawak are fuming over a move by the Road Transport Department to implement two new road permit regulations which they say are “unreasonable and hastily enforced.” 

The 2,000-member Sarawak Transporters Association has sent an official letter to the Transport Ministry to protest against the recently-introduced regulations – one which makes it mandatory for vehicles to have an imprinted “code of manufacturer” label on their body and the other which compels all cargo transporters to fix a standard set of reflectors on their vehicles.
