Such a great efforts by our Perusahaan Automobil Kedua (Perodua) to give free installation of rear seat belt for those who are still not comply with the regulation. Local carmaker had allocated a total of RM41.8 million to supply and install the rear seat belts for its Kancil, Kenari, Kelisa, Kembara and Rusa models.
Announced by Transport Minister Datuk Ong Tee Keat, he said, for security reason however, the installation could only be made at Perodua service centres nationwide. Previosly, Ong said last month that apart from Perodua, several other car manufacturers would provide free installation of the seat belts.
For Info, government had made it compulsory for rear passengers to wear the seat belts starting Jan 1 next year but cars registered before 1995, which are without the safety feature, were given a three-year grace period from June 1 this year to install the belts.
Looking at this and after sales services point of view given by Perodua, I would like to make a suggestion that It is Perodua Kembara that EXCO of Terengganu should buy and not the Mercedes C200 which are making some bad headline this few days. Completed with air bag and reasonable fuel consumption, this move surely waht we can say ‘ cost cutting’ measure.
By the way, Perodua got DVVT some more….
