A greener, safer Malaysia begins with better vehicles — and a little push from Budget 2026.

Under Budget 2026, the government proposed matching grants of up to RM4,000 for owners who trade in vehicles older than 20 years.

Officials expect improved vehicle roadworthiness and lower emissions following implementation. The scheme aligns environmental goals with public safety improvements. 👉 SaferDaily Insight: Safer roads begin with safer vehicles — upgrading responsibly protects both drivers and the planet.
