Puspakom’s ‘tiresome’ regulation


Fit for the road: Lorries lining up for inspection at Puspakom Alam Megah, Shah Alam. — FAIHAN GHANI/The Star

PETALING JAYA: A rather strange regulation imposed by Puspakom has led to lorry owners using rented tyres on their vehicles before they are sent for testing, say lorrymen.

While most lorries are fitted with the preferred choice of modern tubeless tyres, Puspakom’s rules demand that models that originally came with tubed tyres must have such tyres before they can pass inspection, revealed a senior member of a lorry drivers association.
