Remember to belt up at the back!

Since June 1, the new law in Malaysia requiring rear passengers to use their seatbelts has come into force so remind your passengers to buckle up. The Transport Minister has confirmed that no summons will be issued until the end of August 2008 if a rear passenger is not using the seatbelt so do not be fooled by any policeman who attempts to issue one. Vehicles registered after January 1 1995 must have rear seatbelts; if they are not present, they must be installed within 3 years.
