RESIDENTS of public housing schemes in Kuala Lumpur can now apply to scrap their vehicles online.
Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has appointed Car Medic Sdn Bhd via an open tender process and has been offering the service in public housing schemes since February this year.
Mayor Datuk Seri Fadlun Mak Ujud said Car Medic's scope of service includes towing and hauling abandoned vehicles in public areas, preparing logistics and storage facilities and scrapping vehicles sustainably.
"Owners can use the eDereg system to deregister their vehicles properly.
"A cash incentive of between RM100 and RM2,000, depending on the condition and type of vehicles, will be given to those who take part in this voluntary programme," he said during a press conference at PPR Pantai Ria on Thursday (April 16).
He added that DBKL targets to scrap some 1,200 old or abandoned vehicles at public housing schemes through the programme this year.
Also present were the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories), Hannah Yeoh, Lembah Pantai MP Datuk Fahmi Fadzil and Wangsa Maju MP Zahir Hassan.
They presented a certificate issued by Car Medic and a cash reward to a PPR Pantai Ria resident who has scrapped her car via the programme.
