Convention (n° 119) sur la protection des machines, 1963 - Malaisie (Ratification: 1974)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the following matters raised in its previous direct request:

Article 17, paragraph 1, of the Convention. In its previous comments, the Committee took into account that: (i) section 6 of the Road Transport Act, 1987, made it illegal to use a motor vehicle which does not meet the rules concerning construction, weight, equipment, usage and age applicable to the category of vehicle concerned; and (ii) all vehicles registered by the Road Transport Department must conform to national or international safety standards. The Committee then asked the Government to supply a copy of the texts or summaries of regulations and standards applicable in this area.

The Government provided the list of subsidiary to the Road Transport Act, Rules and Orders. The Committee would be grateful to the Government if it would supply copies of the following texts with its next report:

-- Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use), 1959;

-- Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) (Vehicles Carrying Petroleum Products) Rules, 1965;

-- Motor Vehicles (Construction, Equipment and Use) (Use of Liquified Petroleum Gas Fuel System in Motor Vehicles) Rules, 1982;
