  "account": "The Malaysian Computerized Vehicle Inspection Centre (Puspakom) is set to extend its operating hours to 24 hours beginning January 2027, with the aim of providing motorists with more convenient vehicle inspection services. Executive Director Mahmood Razak Bahman stated that this initiative will be implemented contingent on feedback regarding the proposed seven-day-a-week operating hours, as well as the availability of sufficient manpower and operational capacity. These plans have been discussed with the National Trade Union Congress (NUCW) and the Pak Tim Staff Union for Puspakom to ensure reasonable working hours, which range from eight to ten hours per day instead of the current twelve, with two days off per week compared to the usual one.\n\nThe centre will also host a series of interactive activities to promote road safety awareness, including the GiCheck Auto Weekend 2026 event. Deputy Director-General (Ground) of the Transportation Ministry, Mohamed Irwan Mansor, and Puspakom Operations Director Ahmad Zahiri Ismail attended the briefing. In addition to the 24-hour operation, Puspakom plans to launch the Towering Malaysian Awards to recognize individuals who have made positive contributions to society or the environment, even when their contributions are often overlooked. The awards program is being developed in collaboration with strategic partners and selected media agencies, with further details to be announced soon.",
