Easier said than done. Currently new non-locally assembled cars and also all commercial vehicles have to be inspected prior to road tax renewal. Puspakom barely copes with the volume of work.
Plus a lot of hanky-panky in the inspection certification.
Ever wonder why there are so many badly maintained commercial vehicles - buses, lorries, on the road, yet they pass the Puspakom inspection every 6 months ?
I work with a foreign multinational, which won't pay such "coffee-money", so every time our vehicles go in for inspection we put in a lot of effort to make sure they are in tip-top condition. But I know a lot of companies don't do that, and elect to pay "lubricating oil" to Puspakom fellas.
So now, they have a wonderful new source of "oil".
