Syahredzan suggested reviving MyCRS using funds from the sale of special vehicle number plates, which earned the government RM45.9 million last year, and introducing a tax relief of up to RM1,000 for parents purchasing CRS seats.His call comes amid worrying data from the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (Miros), which found that <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/10/miros-lorry-safety-compliance-at-just-4-child-seat-use-only-30" target="_blank" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;">only 30% of children are properly secured in child seats even though using one can cut the risk of death for kids aged four and below by as much as 71%.</a>The issue made headlines again last month after <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/09/loke-child-seat-could-have-saved-baby-in-bukit-kajang-tragedy" target="_blank" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;">a one-year-old boy was killed in a crash at the Bukit Kajang toll plaza.

The case has reignited comments from Transport Minister Anthony Loke, who said, “This is a reminder to all. When the Transport Ministry mandates or encourages the use of child seats, many complain.
