SUNGAI BULOH, Sept 14 — Transport Minister Anthony Loke has announced that private vehicle ownership transfer inspection fees will remain standardized under the multi-operator system, with no price competition allowed. The fees are set and regulated by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) to protect consumers and ensure sustainability of industry players.
Instead of focusing on lower prices, the competition should highlight service quality and convenience. Loke highlighted that the inspection process at licensed private centers typically takes less than 20 minutes and the results are transmitted directly to the JPJ system for efficient vehicle ownership transfer. The opening of the M.V.15 Inspection Centre at CARSOME Academy, operated by an automotive TVET institution, marks a significant milestone as it integrates inspection services and technical training under one roof, with inspections conducted by examiners holding a Level 3 Malaysian Skills Certificate in Motor Vehicle Inspection.
This aligns with the MADANI Government's agenda to strengthen TVET as a career pathway and provide students with real-world exposure. Loke also reminded private operators of their responsibility to uphold legitimate inspection processes and roadworthy vehicles, as the Transport Ministry and JPJ will continue to conduct surprise audits and regular monitoring to maintain service integrity and standards.
