PUSPAKOM, the sole provider of vehicle inspection services for over three decades, is back in the news with four of its officers under investigation for approving vehicles that do not meet safety standards, putting lives at risk. Transport consultant, Wan Agyl Wan Hassan, shares his insights into how vehicle inspections can be improved especially with PUSPAKOM's monopoly ending and at least 10 companies applying to provide these services.
