The ministry of transport is willing to offer incentives for the disposal of old motorcycles, however the initiative can only proceed with cooperation by local motorcycle manufacturers, reported Bernama.
This would require active participation from the motorcycle industry, similar to the grant programme to scrap old vehicles where old vehicle disposal initiatives by local carmakers Proton and Perodua would be joined by a matching grant from the government, said transport minister Anthony Loke.
“So far, there is no incentive for the disposal of old motorcycles. I recently received a letter from the Malaysian Motorcycle and Scooter Association, but manufacturers themselves need to take the initiative. We introduced programmes for old cars because there were initiatives from manufacturers,” Loke said.
“If manufacturers come forward, the condition is that the vehicles must be locally assembled (CKD); imported vehicles will not be included. Assistance is only given to local manufacturing companies,” the transport minister said, adding that the ministry is open to discussions if local manufacturers show interest.
The statement by Loke was in response to calls for a motorcycle disposal programme similar to that of the government’s offer of a matching grant of up to RM4,000 for the scrapping of cars over 20 years old, towards their replacement with newer, safer and more energy-efficient vehicles from Malaysia’s national carmakers.
Nothing about safety coz he only cares about raking in more money for his pockets.
sigh! un-toni lock must resign
something definitely wrong with your eyes. the matching grant money from the govt actually goes to the local motor vehicle manufacturers in order to provide incentives to owners to dispose their old less safe vehicles & buy new locally manufactured ones at reduced prices.
Stupidest amongst all your stupid comments. There is nothing inherently safer on a newer motor compared to one 20 yo, this is not a car where you get ADAS, 6/7 airbags, BLIS, better crash protection vs cars decades ago. Loke is forcing scrapping for the sake of scrapping simply by making motorcyclist inc the kampung pakciks to buy new motors which are just as dangerous as their current rides.
read properly la dodo , its optional not forced whereby The ministry of transport will offer incentives for the disposal of old motorcycles, however the initiative can only proceed with cooperation by local motorcycle manufacturers .
Not only there’s something wrong with your eyes; there’s also something wrong with your brain. Firstly, the proposed grant money is meant to go to the local manufacturers, not the transport minister’s pockets. Secondly, the proposed programme is not to dispose old cars in exchange for new motorbikes. Thirdly, the proposed programme first requires the agreement of local motorbike manufacturers, and if implemented, it is up to the old motorbike owners to take part, just like with the current programme for old cars.
And on the subject of the most stupid of all stupid comments here at PT org, yours must be the story you cooked up for train rider regarding the cause of the May 2021 Kelana Jaya LRT collision.
Chill bro. That kampung warrior is dead RIP
mca macai and oppo cytro is getting dumber by the day
You conveniently forget that at 3.16pm on 31/12/2025, you posted a comment on a PT article about LRT, telling a false story about why the 2021 Kelana Jaya line LRT train collision had happened & here you are telling off somebody else for posting the stupidest of all stupid comments, expecting other people to believe you. May be you have also conveniently forgotten how to grow up.
To paraphrase the legendary Ling Liong Sik regarding the high rate of motorcyclist accidents and deaths, “Mereka mahu mati, apa boleh kita buat?”If they ride with a death wish with no regard for the safety of other road users, no amount of banning, restrictions, etc will ever reduce the fatality rate. They will just find other ways to kill themselves and harm other road users.
There should be a law allowing Police to shoot bikes at sight. Bloody menace, parasites.
there should be a law to shoot stupid people like you who is only a good keyboard warrior. Bloody waste of space and oxygen , parasite.
