Govt to amend law to hold consignors, consignees liable for overloading, says Transport Minister


KUALA LUMPUR: The government is looking to amend the law to hold consignors and consignees accountable for forcing lorry operators to carry loads beyond the permitted limit, says Anthony Loke.

The Transport Minister said the move aims to ensure every party in the logistics chain shares responsibility for road safety, and not just the driver or transport company.
