M'sian stunned as Chinese driver refunds RM230 after accident
GETTING into an accident is every driver's nightmare, but sometimes, you encounter someone who is remarkably understanding.
This was the case for Malaysian woman @misznyna_, who recently shared her experience after accidentally knocking into an Axia in front of her.
Expecting the worst, she immediately apologised to the driver—Mr. Lim—but was stunned by his calmness. Instead of getting angry, Mr. Lim reassured her and suggested they head to a nearby workshop to assess the damage.
At the workshop, the mechanic quoted RM480 for the repair. Unfortunately, the incident happened right before her payday, and she had just replaced her car radiator.

'I scraped together whatever money I could until I had the RM480. I paid RM250 first because my account has a daily limit. Then, I transferred the remaining balance later. I told him to just update me if there was anything, and I apologised again,' she wrote.
To her surprise, Mr. Lim also apologised to her—despite not being at fault—and even reminded her to drive safely.
But the real shock came yesterday (May 7) when @misznyna_ discovered that Mr. Lim had refunded her RM230.

In the screenshots she shared, Mr. Lim explained his reason: 'Hi, I refunded RM230 to you. I don't have to repaint, only knock it back into shape and touch up a bit of the paint at the bumper.'
Confused, she asked him why he didn't fully repair it to his satisfaction, but Mr. Lim said it wasn't necessary.
'I really think he's such a good and humble person. May God bless you, Mr. Lim. May all your affairs be eased as well,' she wrote, praising his honesty and kindness.

How Malaysian car owners can claim from motorcyclists' insurance in an accident
FENDER BENDERS – these are common place given Malaysia's gridlocked roads and lack of road etiquette among many motorists. As such, the poser on X by Fitri, Ph.D in Fish Genetics (@drfitriyusof) on whether a car owner can claim for insurance company for damages caused by a motorcycle in a road mishap is timely. Under Malaysian law, the Road Transport Act of 1987 mandates that every vehicle in Malaysia to have at least a Third-Party insurance coverage. Hence, a wronged motorist can make a claim from the motorcyclist's insurance. But it was pointed out that there is a bias favouring the lighter vehicle. It must be shown that the motorcyclist was 100% at fault. Such claims are indeed possible as some commenters – speaking from experience – were successful in getting indemnified from insurers of the motorcyclists. However, as is often the case, many motorcyclists do not have the necessary insurance coverage (not to mention license or road tax), prompting car owners to claim from their own insurance which led to their 'NCD (no claim discount) getting burned'. This is the crux of the matter. One commenter recounted his own experience involving a food delivery rider who did not have insurance coverage. He believes that under such circumstances, the courier companies should be liable as they should ensure that their riders are properly insured. One netizen helpfully posted a link that provided a step-by-step guide on how to make such claims. The site, goes on to list what must be done, starting with the all-important police report. The claim is made through an insurance panel workshop which will process the claim. The site also clarifies that car drivers are not automatically assumed to be at fault when involved with a fender bender with a two-wheeler. There were many comments that it was not possible to make such claims but this was probably because of false assumptions or the proper procedure not being adhered to. Fact of the matter is that too many motorcyclists lack the necessary insurance and road tax. This is what give rise to the problem. While the law may state otherwise, the reality of the situation is another. – June 4, 2025 Main image credit: vpRider/YouYTube

How rising transport costs affect Malaysian fertility trends
Transportation may not be the first topic couples consider when planning for children. Still, the rising costs of car ownership, from monthly repayments to upgrading to a family-sized vehicle, were becoming an essential factor. Transportation may not be the first topic couples consider when planning for children. Still, the rising costs of car ownership, from monthly repayments to upgrading to a family-sized vehicle, were becoming an essential factor. SHAH ALAM – Rising car prices and transport expenses are significantly influencing family planning decisions for young Malaysian couples, moving beyond mere lifestyle choices to become a critical factor in how they envision their future. According to Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Lecturer and Specialist in Obstetrics and Gynaecology Dr Siti Hajar Abd Azman, transportation was one of many interlinked socio-economic factors influencing family size in Malaysia. While often overlooked, rising car ownership costs are becoming a key factor for couples planning to have children. 'Determining family size in Malaysia is influenced by a complex web of socio-economic factors, including career aspirations, housing conditions, childcare support, healthcare access and significantly, transportation. "While car ownership may not be the primary determinant of family planning, it often plays a crucial supporting role, especially when considering the cost of living,' she told Sinar Daily. She clarified that while career goals and housing were typically more visible influences, the affordability of a vehicle from purchasing it to maintaining it, insuring it and fueling it, could have real implications on a couple's decision to expand their family. 'For instance, larger families may require bigger vehicles for safety and space, but the financial ability to acquire such vehicles can be limiting. Couples who cannot afford a larger car or feel burdened by transportation costs may choose to delay or reduce the number of children they plan to have,' she said. Dr Siti's insights were drawn from her experience in medical practice, where she had observed a recurring theme in patient consultations. While career goals and housing were typically more visible influences, the affordability of a vehicle from purchasing it to maintaining it, insuring it and fueling it, could have real implications on a couple's decision to expand their family. - Photo generated by Sinar Daily Many patients had brought up the financial strain of car ownership, particularly loan repayments and escalating maintenance costs, as a contributing reason for postponing or reconsidering plans to have children. While transportation expenses were seldom the sole reason behind such decisions, Dr Siti believes they frequently played a role within a larger web of financial considerations. 'These concerns, while not always the main reason, are part of a broader financial picture that includes housing affordability, educational expenses and childcare logistics. "Patients often cite difficulties fitting more children into smaller cars or struggling with the practicality of managing a growing family without a reliable vehicle. These everyday considerations make transportation a very real factor in family planning discussions,' she said. Dr Siti stated that the rising cost of living in Malaysia significantly influenced how families planned for the future. Expenses such as car loans, fuel, maintenance, housing and childcare all played a role in shaping decisions about family size. As a result, she observed that more couples were choosing to have fewer children to preserve their quality of life and ensure financial stability. 'In many cases, families opt for smaller households to maintain a better quality of life and financial stability. Especially in urban centres, the limited living space in apartments and smaller homes also adds to the perception that larger families may not be practical,' she said. Although Malaysia lacks data specifically linking car size or vehicle affordability to national fertility rates, Dr Siti said the trend fits into a regional context. 'Although there may not be specific studies directly linking car size or transportation limitations to fertility rates in Malaysia, regional research supports the idea that socioeconomic growth often leads to declining fertility. "The fertility rate in Southeast Asia has dropped from 5.5 per cent in 1970 to 2.4 per cent in 2015 and continues to decline. These shifts reflect broader economic and social changes, where financial concerns, including transportation, influence reproductive choices. "Studies consistently point to factors like income, housing and healthcare access as significant influences on family size, and material constraints such as the affordability and practicality of car ownership fit into this larger context,' she said. Ultimately, decisions about having children are deeply personal, but they are also increasingly practical. 'While transportation alone may not be the decisive factor in determining family size, it is undeniably part of the broader equation. "As the economic landscape continues to evolve and the cost of living rises, Malaysian couples are increasingly making practical, financially informed decisions about how many children to have and whether their car, or lack thereof, fits into that plan,' she added.

Queues at VEP application centres in Singapore, JB after news of enforcement from July 1
SINGAPORE/JOHOR BAHRU (The Straits Times/ANN): Waves of Singapore motorists showed up at Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) application and installation centres in Singapore and Johor Bahru a day after Malaysia announced that enforcement of the VEP will start on July 1. Singapore-registered vehicles entering the country from that date without a valid VEP will be fined RM300 (S$91), Malaysia's Transport Minister Anthony Loke said on June 4. The drivers will have to pay the fine and complete their VEP registration before leaving Malaysia. On June 5, motorists showed up at VEP centres in Woodlands in Singapore and Danga Bay in Johor Bahru because they needed help with signing up on the online portal or had problems activating their radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. VEP-registered vehicles need to have RFID tags installed and activated in order to make payments for Malaysian expressway tolls and the road charge when entering Johor via the two land checkpoints. The counters in Malaysia are operated by TCSens, Malaysia's ministry-appointed vendor for handling VEP registrations; while the one in Singapore is run by My VEP, a separate company, in collaboration with TCSens. Between 9.30am and 10.30am, around 40 people were seen queueing outside the My VEP office in Woodlands Industrial Park. They include motorists collecting their VEP RFID tags and those needing help with applications. Those without appointment slots were turned away. Around lunchtime at the TCSens inquiry centre in Danga Bay, more than 60 motorists were seen queueing to seek assistance from staff to troubleshoot their VEP registrations. The centre allows walk-in inquiries. Latiff Saleh, 64, who did not have an appointment, left the Woodlands centre in Singapore without getting any assistance. He needed help to terminate the existing VEP registration of his car, which was tagged to its previous owner, as he was not able to do so online. On hearing the June 4 announcement, he tried to log in to the VEP portal to restart the application process but faced difficulties. He had not decided whether to try his luck at Danga Bay soon or wait for the rush in Woodlands to subside before getting an appointment. Inquiries had been decreasing before the June 4 announcement, and appointment slots had been available daily since March, said Mr Ng Poh Heng, manager of My VEP. But by the morning of June 5, all the slots until June 20 had been taken up, checks by The Straits Times found. Esther Chua, 50, received her VEP RFID tag earlier in 2025 but found that it could not be fitted to her car as required. The finance executive did not get around to exchanging the tag until after hearing the latest news. 'The Malaysian side seems to keep changing their mind, so I didn't feel the need to get it fixed (so soon),' she said at Woodlands on June 5. Singapore-registered vehicles entering the country from July 1 without a valid VEP will be fined RM300 (S$91). -- Photo: The Straits Times/ANN The latest move to enforce the VEP comes eight years after the plan was first mooted in 2017. Its implementation was shelved twice, in 2019 and again in 2020. It was rolled out in October 2024, but foreign vehicles found without valid VEPs were given reminders to get registered and not fined. At the Danga Bay inquiry centre on June 5, waiting times were long, with motorists saying they began queueing from as early as 6am for the counter to open at 9am. One of the motorists, a 76-year-old Singaporean retiree who wanted to be known only as Mr Chong, said that his VEP application was rejected in October 2024 because it was missing insurance documents. He said he never heard back after he replied with the documents. 'Suddenly, they said they are going to enforce (the requirement) this July. This is very troublesome,' he said, adding that the announcement on June 4 caught him by surprise. Singaporean interior designer Andrew Ho, 44, who arrived in Danga Bay at 9am, waited five hours to get help from TCSens staff. His VEP RFID tag could not be read at the Malaysian Customs gantry. A TCSens staff member at Danga Bay told ST that by 2.30pm, he had already assisted more than 100 motorists, compared with the daily number of 130 cars that the centre had handled in the past few months. Loke told reporters on June 4 that foreign-registered private vehicles have had ample time to be VEP-registered since the call to do so was made in May 2024. The minister added that 231,018 Singapore-registered private individually owned vehicles have signed up for the VEP, with 15 per cent yet to activate the RFID tags. Meanwhile, skip-the-queue VEP services in Singapore are seeing an uptick in inquiries. These services apply for the VEP on the motorists' behalf, saving drivers the hassle of making the online application or queueing at the counters. Derrick Heng, director of Radiant VEP, which offers skip-the-queue services, said inquiries have spiked since the latest announcement, after getting around 10 queries daily from the beginning of 2025. 'We received about 30 inquiries on June 4, and our office (in Kaki Bukit) was full, with motorists coming in to apply for the permits at the last minute,' he said. Jason Koay, director of accounting and secretarial firm Bizwise Management, which advertises its VEP application assistance service on Carousell, said he helped with 50 applications on June 5, up from two to three inquiries a day since March. A TCSens spokesman urged Singaporean motorists to register promptly for the VEP through the website, as it is anticipating a surge in applications and appointments at its four centres in Johor Bahru and Singapore. 'Motorists must ensure that the VEP RFID tags are securely fixed on their vehicles and activated for use once they have received them,' he added. - The Straits Times/ANN
