KUCHING: The computerised vehicle inspection centre (Puspakom) here will be opened on Saturdays effective today until month end, from 9am to 4pm.
Sarawak Transport Minister Datuk Lee Kim Shin said this was to address the problem of long queues by vehicles waiting for inspection.
“There are complaints that the queues started as early as 4.30am. Customers with prior appointments are subjected to the same lane as those who walk in.
“Therefore, I have suggested for Puspakom to open up another lane to cater specifically for those who have made prior appointments,” he said after making a work visit to assess the situation at Puspakom here yesterday.
Lee urged the public to book their appointments through the company’s official website or through its MyPuspakom app.
Also present during the visit were Sabah and Sarawak Puspakom deputy regional manager Exquande Hazmee and Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) Youth Central secretary-general Milton Foo.
