The rugged SUV achieved an overall score of 86.50 points, making it the first Jetour model to be tested by ASEAN NCAP and placing it among the top-rated SUVs assessed under the current, stricter regime.In the Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) category, the Jetour T2 scored 29.74 points out of a possible 32. ASEAN NCAP noted that the frontal occupant compartment remained stable during the frontal offset crash test. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21160/16668622/conversions/Screenshot-2026-01-09-151528-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16668622" alt="Screenshot-2026-01-09-151528.jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21160/16668621/conversions/Screenshot-2026-01-09-151431-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16668621" alt="Screenshot-2026-01-09-151431.jpg"> Test data showed adequate protection to the driver’s chest, although marginal protection was recorded for the driver’s left lower leg. Side impact and head protection performance were rated at the maximum score.Child Occupant Protection (COP) performance was also strong, with the T2 scoring 40.63 points out of 51. The SUV performed well in both frontal and side impact tests involving child occupants. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21160/16668642/conversions/Screenshot-2026-01-09-151804-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16668642" alt="Screenshot-2026-01-09-151804.jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21160/16668668/conversions/Screenshot-2026-01-09-151641-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16668668" alt="Screenshot-2026-01-09-151641.jpg"> Additional points were gained from vehicle-based assessments and the presence of Child Presence Detection and ISOFIX mountings, which are standard across all variants.In the Safety Assist category, the Jetour T2 earned 18.00 points out of 21. Standard-fit features such as Electronic Stability Control, Anti-lock Braking System and seatbelt reminders for both front and rear occupants formed the foundation of this score. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21160/16668646/conversions/Screenshot-2026-01-09-151704-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16668646" alt="Screenshot-2026-01-09-151704.jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21160/16668667/conversions/Screenshot-2026-01-09-151504-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16668667" alt="Screenshot-2026-01-09-151504.jpg"> ASEAN NCAP also confirmed the effectiveness of the T2’s Autonomous Emergency Braking City and Inter-Urban systems, which are offered as optional equipment across the range.The SUV also performed well in the Motorcycle Safety pillar, scoring 13.00 points out of 16. This result was largely driven by standard Blind Spot Detection on both sides of the vehicle, along with pedestrian protection measures.Tested under ASEAN NCAP’s 2021–2025 protocol, the Jetour T2 benefited from the framework’s greater emphasis on active and preventive safety technologies, which now carry more weight in determining the final star rating. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21160/16668665/conversions/Screenshot-2026-01-09-151954-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16668665" alt="Screenshot-2026-01-09-151954.jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21160/16668666/conversions/Screenshot-2026-01-09-151916-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16668666" alt="Screenshot-2026-01-09-151916.jpg"> This 5-star result comes as Jetour Malaysia recently gave the public its first look at the right-hand-drive version of the <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/11/jetour-t2-marks-rhd-debut-in-malaysia-est-rm178888" target="_blank">T2 at the Setia City Convention Centre, with an estimated price of RM178,888</a>. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21160/16668669/conversions/Screenshot-2026-01-09-152133-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16668669" alt="Screenshot-2026-01-09-152133.jpg"> For now, only one variant has been revealed, featuring a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and real-time four-wheel drive.

Starting Jan 15, Malaysians will need to use <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/11/myjpj-will-require-mydigital-id-login-starting-feb-2026" target="_blank" style="">MyDigital ID</a> as the only login method to access the MyNIISe immigration app, as part of the Home Ministry’s push to streamline and secure digital government services.
In a statement released on Jan 6, the ministry said the change applies only to Malaysians. Foreign travellers can continue logging into MyNIISe the same way they do now, with no changes to the process."The move is part of the broader National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe) initiative, which aims to make identity verification more accurate and secure by linking directly to the National Registration Department’s database," it said in a statement.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">

The idea is simple. One secure login, fewer passwords to remember, and a smoother experience overall.
With this in mind, Malaysians aged 18 and above are encouraged to download and register for MyDigital ID ahead of time. The app is already available on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Huawei AppGallery, and registration is required before accessing MyNIISe once the new system kicks in.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">MyNIISe itself is still relatively new. It was first rolled out in Sept last year at Johor’s Sultan Iskandar Building and Sultan Abu Bakar Complex, and will gradually be expanded to KLIA Terminals 1 and 2, as well as airports in Penang, Kuching, and Kota Kinabalu.

&nbsp;As of Dec 30, the app has been downloaded nearly 600,000 times, with over 287,000 registered users."Integrating MyDigital ID into MyNIISe reflects the Madani Government’s broader commitment to modernising public services"The goal is to make immigration processes safer, faster, and more user-friendly, while building public confidence in how digital services are rolled out and managed," the ministry concluded.

From Jan 15, Malaysians must use MyDigital ID as the single login to access the MyNIISe immigration app.

Another fallen tree has once again disrupted KTMB’s rail services, <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2026/01/ktmb-targets-12-million-ets3-passengers-in-2026-mysawasdee-service-resumes" target="_blank" style="">raising concerns about safety and maintenance along Malaysia’s train corridors. </a>
The latest incident happened yesterday morning between Rembau and Tampin, when a tree collapsed onto the tracks and knocked out the power supply, bringing ETS and KTM Komuter services to a crawl.The disruption occurred at around 10.08AM at KM494.25 and forced trains to operate on a single track. As a result, passengers on several routes faced lengthy delays, with some ETS services running up to two hours late, while other ETS and Komuter trips between JB Sentral, KL Sentral, Batu Caves and Tampin were delayed by about an hour.

KTMB confirmed that the fallen tree has since been cut and removed, and repair works on the affected electrical system are currently underway. 
 What’s worrying is that this wasn’t a tree from KTM’s own reserve area. In fact, the company revealed that a similar incident in Dec caused damage to 12 cantilever tubes, pointing to a recurring problem rather than a one-off event. The rail operator warned that without proper tree management, such disruptions could continue, causing serious delays and posing safety risks to passengers.To prevent future incidents, KTM said it has begun identifying landowners and authorities responsible for land bordering the railway lines, including local councils and private owners. "Official letters have been issued to alert them to the risks and to call for preventive action, although responses are still pending," it said in a statement.

KTMB also reminded that under the Local Government Act 1976, local councils are legally obliged to manage and trim trees that could endanger public infrastructure. The firm is now urging the relevant parties to step in quickly, stressing that proactive maintenance is crucial to keeping train services safe, reliable and disruption-free.

Another track obstruction has caused major delays on KTM routes, renewing concerns over tree management and rail safety.

Fallen Tree Disrupts KTMB Services Again, Safety Concerns Grow

<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2026/01/rm100m-shortfall-hits-my50-pass-govt-pledges-continuation" target="_blank" style="">Public transport in Malaysia appears to be regaining public trust</a>, with Prasarana recording a sharp rise in rail and bus ridership in 2025. According to transport experts, the jump in passenger numbers is a strong sign that recent improvements to the network are starting to pay off. Last year, Prasarana Malaysia Bhd averaged 1.31 million passengers a day across its services, up 11% from 1.18 million in 2024. Associate Professor Law Teik Hua of Universiti Putra Malaysia described the numbers as something “worth cheering about”, saying they support the <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2026/01/report-rapid-bus-experimenting-with-diesel-to-ev-bus-conversions" target="_blank" style="">country’s goals to reduce traffic congestion and lower emissions.</a>In an interview with The Star, he stated that the increase reflects better operations and reliability across the system. However, Law cautioned that growth in urban ridership this year could slow slightly due to the delayed opening of the Shah Alam LRT line.

 <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21136/16661153/2876483.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16661153" alt="2876483.jpg"> 

The 37km line, which runs from Bandar Utama to Johan Setia, was originally scheduled to begin operations in Sept last year. Transport Minister Anthony Loke recently confirmed that the project has yet to enter its Fault-Free Run (FFR) phase due to unresolved technical issues. The FFR is a crucial stage where the system must operate continuously without failure before it can open to the public.While delays have frustrated commuters, Law defended the government’s decision to put safety first. Skipping or rushing safety tests just to meet a deadline, he said, would be irresponsible and potentially dangerous.

 <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21136/16661154/Rapid_KL_bus_route_LRT10_(WVD_4028)_at_KL105_LRT_Masjid_Jamek_Bus_Stop,_Kuala_Lumpur_20240120_145854.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16661154" alt="Rapid_KL_bus_route_LRT10_(WVD_4028)_at_KL105_LRT_Masjid_Jamek_Bus_Stop,_Kuala_Lumpur_20240120_145854.jpg"> 

“Large projects often face delays, and that’s understandably frustrating. But the FFR is a vital test. Ignoring it for the sake of a launch date could compromise passenger safety and the long-term performance of the system,” he told the news portal.Despite the setback, Law does not expect the delay to have a lasting impact on public transport usage. Demand for rail services in the Klang Valley, he said, is strong and typically rebounds once new lines start operating.He also pointed out that the Shah Alam LRT line will eventually provide a much-needed alternative to the KTM Komuter, which is currently undergoing major double-track rehabilitation works. "With LRT catering to frequent urban trips and KTM serving longer-distance travel, having both systems in place improves reliability and reduces pressure on a single network," Law added.Beyond the immediate issue, he highlighted a broader challenge in how infrastructure projects are communicated to the public. Law noted that timelines are often announced before all technical hurdles are cleared, leading to disappointment when delays happen. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/mediatemp/1/16660054/conversions/Mercedes-S-Class-Level-4-Self-Driving-Robotaxis-Debut-In-Abu-Dhabi-Mercedes-Benz-launches-Level-4-self-driving-S-Class-robotaxis-in-Abu-Dhabi-partnering-with-Chinese-software-firm-Momenta-(70)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16660054" alt="Mercedes-S-Class-Level-4-Self-Driving-Robotaxis-Debut-In-Abu-Dhabi-Mercedes-Benz-launches-Level-4-self-driving-S-Class-robotaxis-in-Abu-Dhabi-partnering-with-Chinese-software-firm-Momenta-(70).png"> 

To improve public confidence, he suggested authorities take a different approach by keeping people informed about testing progress and safety requirements, rather than focusing too heavily on projected opening dates."By explaining why certain checks are needed and how testing is progressing, the public would better understand delays and trust the system more when it finally opens," he concluded.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Source: The Star.

Prasarana’s record-breaking passenger numbers in 2025 show that public confidence in public transport is back on track.
