KUALA LUMPUR: Plans to address long waits at Puspakom inspection centres will be put in place, including doing away with mandatory non-safety-related ins­pection items and banning multiple-slot appointment bookings.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke said five items will soon fall under a self-declaration system for vehicles undergoing ins­pec­tions at Puspakom.
