479,000 Cars To Get Free Rear Seat Belts

June 17, 2008 by Terence

Around 479,000 cars registered before 1995 are expected to get free installation of rear seat belts from early next month until the middle of 2010 under a sponsorship programme initiated by the government.

These cars are basically Perodua Kelisa (28,000), Perodua Kancil (141,000), Perodua Kenari (33,000), Proton Saga/Iswara (150,000), Naza (30,000) and other makes (20,000).

According to Transport Minister Datuk Ong Tee Keat, the cost of installation per car would be around RM80 and the cost for each set of three rear seat belts is RM100.

However, the entire cost would be borne by the manufacturers or through sponsorship by corporate organisations. Car owners only need to bring their cars to selected workshops appointed by the manufacturers to fix the rear seat belts.
