CMI can be bought from Thai insurers at the border or online through a regional platform before entry. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/20664/16436506/conversions/PIAM-Flood-(5)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16436506" alt="PIAM-Flood-(5).jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/20664/16436507/conversions/PIAM-Flood-(6)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16436507" alt="PIAM-Flood-(6).jpg"> He said many Malaysians affected by the Hat Yai floods are now facing difficulties retrieving their cars, as vehicles damaged abroad without the correct coverage are typically not eligible for claims.

Drivers will also have to submit their insurance documents, road tax information and any required customs forms. Claim progress can be monitored through the DRA app.Malaysian insurers are now coordinating with Thai workshops, tow operators and local authorities to assist those affected. More than 500 Malaysian vehicles were reported stranded during the severe flooding, which followed days of heavy rainfall across Songkhla province.

Controlling speed through SLDs can help to reduce the risk of accidents caused by speeding, which in return will enhance the safety of all road users, Loke added.Apart from the current SLD system, the minister said that the government is also developing a new telematics system that will be integrated into these devices, which will allow for more effective monitoring of heavy vehicle movements and driver behaviour.Source: <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.bernama.com/en/general/news.php?id=2497885" target="_blank">Bernama</a>

The goodwill discount is meant to narrow the gap between the outgoing formula and the fairer approach mandated under the revised Act, especially for those intending to clear their loans before maturity.Industry groups said the move is intended to reassure customers as the transition begins, adding that lenders want borrowers to feel supported during this regulatory shift. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/20657/16434023/conversions/Car-Loan-(3)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16434023" alt="Car-Loan-(3).jpg"> Customers with <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2024/03/caricarz-guide-to-car-loans-and-interest-rates-in-malaysia" target="_blank">fixed-rate loans calculated under the Rule of 78</a> may qualify if they opt for early settlement and maintain a clean repayment record. Banks will determine the exact discount amount case-by-case, and borrowers are encouraged to contact their lender to confirm eligibility and understand how the rebate will be computed.Those who plan to continue paying their loans until the original end date do not need to take any further steps.The goodwill discount will come into effect once the amended Hire-Purchase Act becomes law, expected in the first quarter of 2026.

Singaporean tour buses may continue entering Malaysia, but the government is drawing a firm line on what they can and cannot do. Transport Minister Anthony Loke told Parliament that<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/11/aeroline-resumes-singapore-malaysia-routes-on-nov-28" target="_blank" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> these buses are welcome as long as they stick to their role of ferrying tourists and nothing more.</a>He explained that the current arrangement is a reciprocal one. <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/11/govt-not-forcing-aeroline-to-tbs-corus-klcc-stop-unsuitable" target="_blank" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Malaysian tour buses are allowed to operate in Singapore, and Singaporean tour buses can do the same here. </a>The goal, Loke said, is straightforward as the tourist movement benefits both sides.

“Tour buses bring visitors into the country, which benefits Malaysia, and we do not ban them,” he said.The problem starts when a tour bus begins functioning like an express service. Selling tickets for scheduled routes is strictly off-limits, and Loke made it clear that enforcement will follow if operators cross that line. “But if a tour bus operates as an express bus selling tickets for scheduled routes, that is not allowed and action will be taken,” Loke reminded.The minister also revealed that Singapore had asked Malaysia to allow its express buses to run here in exchange for similar access for Malaysian operators. But the proposal hit a wall because Singapore doesn’t even have a legal category for express buses.

“However, Singapore does not have a legal category for express buses. Their system only recognises tour buses and scheduled buses “That is why our position remains firm and we will not allow express bus services from Singapore,” he added.Earlier, Ahmad Marzuk Shaary (PN–Pengkalan Chepa) raised concerns about long-standing safety gaps, pointing to Singaporean tour buses that have been operating in Malaysia for years without Puspakom inspections or meeting local safety standards.Loke acknowledged the issue and said the ministry is aware that some operators have been exploiting the current system.
