JPJ: Two key improvements to heavy vehicle inspection procedures effective June 1
PUTRAJAYA: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) today announced two key improvements to the vehicle inspection process at Motor Vehicle Inspection Centres (PPKM), including those operated by Puspakom Sdn Bhd, effective tomorrow (June 1). JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said the move aims to enhance vehicle safety standards while improving system efficiency and service quality for users. 'The improvements involve inspections of tyre tread depth and heavy duty dumper tipper vehicles,' he said in a statement today. He said the tyre tread depth inspections are in line with current safety standards. 'JPJ requires all commercial vehicles, both goods and public service vehicles, to have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm across the entire surface of the tyre that makes contact with the road,' he said. Aedy Fadly said that previously, JPJ required Puspakom to ensure at least 75 per cent of the tyre surface met the minimum tread depth requirement during inspections. 'With the new stipulation, any commercial vehicle that fails to meet the requirement will not pass the vehicle inspection,' he added. He added that JPJ, in collaboration with Puspakom, has also stepped up enforcement to ensure heavy duty dumper or tipper lorries do not have side boards that exceed the approved specifications. 'This is in line with the permit conditions set by the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) and the approved Vehicle Technical Plan,' he said. Additionally, owners of heavy duty dumper or tipper lorries transporting special loads are now required to present the commercial vehicle approval offer letter (STK) and relevant permits during inspections at Puspakom. This is to ensure that the vehicle's body type and the nature of the load conform to the approved specifications. 'The move to tighten enforcement on heavy duty dumper or tipper vehicles aligns with the implementation of a special body code for those transporting specific loads such as fertiliser, coal, fly ash, gypsum, sawdust, corn, palm kernel, and rice,' he said. Aedy Fadly added that the enforcement aims to prevent the misuse of vehicle specifications while ensuring road safety and compliance with regulations for operating special load vehicles. He said vehicle owners whose vehicles fail inspection at Puspakom have two options: either refer to APAD to correct the permit and obtain a new one based on the original load specified in the technical plan, or apply to JPJ for a new technical plan based on the correct body code for the load being carried. In addition, owners must adjust the side board height to the required 762mm, with no changes allowed to the existing dumper tipper body code, before presenting the vehicle for reinspection at Puspakom. 'These improvements will enhance road safety, reduce the risk of accidents, and ensure better compliance with existing regulations,' he added.

Atiqa Odho is the latest to praise 'Sanam Teri Kasam'
The Sanam Teri Kasam fanfare is not ready to dwindle just yet. Veteran actor Atiqa Odho has joined the scores of admirers that the 2016 film keeps racking up since its groundbreaking re-release in February. "Just watched Sanam Teri Kasam and was mesmerised by both Mawra Hocane and Harshvardhan Rane," Odho wrote in an Instagram post shared Saturday. "Such a beautiful love story with touching performances, and a great example of cross-border collaborations." The Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi actor added that Pakistan and India should consider working on more projects in the future, given the cultural similarities. "Bilateral relationships, similar language, and shared history are what we should look at and set politics aside when it comes to soft image ambassadors. Well done, STK team!" she wrote. After the re-release's record-breaking success in India, it has been hard for even Bollywood greats to keep their eyes away from the Mawra Hocane starrer. Commending the re-released film's triumph at the box office, Anil Kapoor wrote on Instagram Stories last month, "Congratulations to (producer) Deepak Mukut and the entire Sanam Teri Kasam team on its re-release! The film has already won hearts, and its success is truly well-earned. Wishing Harshvardhan Rane, Mawra Hocane, Soham Rockstar Entertainment, (co-producer) Hunar Mukut, and everyone involved even more milestones ahead!" Mawra, who played the female lead Saru, was quick to take note of Anil's praises. Re-sharing the Story, she replied, "Thank you, Anil Kapoor sir!" Another Bollywood veteran, Vidya Balan, not only lauded the film's success but also watched it in the theatre. "Enjoyed watching this simple love story in the theatre! Congrats to Mawra Hocane, Harshvardhan Rane, Radhika Rao, Vinay Sapru, Kaleem Khan," Vidya wrote in an Instagram Story. But that's not all. Someone in particular captivated Vidya's interest as she wrote, "Mawra, you are amazing." Mawra, who has simultaneously been basking in the glow of her marriage and the newfound success of her Bollywood debut, finally got a chance to collect her thoughts in an Instagram post shared Saturday. Penning a heartfelt note, she appreciated the hard work of her crew and dwelled on her own thoughts. Sharing a carousel of clips from the film, she wrote, "Not me fainting to the numbers STK re release is doing. Absolutely magical!" Reflecting on the unexpected love, she added, "STK re-releasing is a testament to the fact that you can't get more than what your time and fate can offer. I'm so so grateful for the love you've all poured in during the last three weeks. It's unheard of. They're saying we've made history."
