CVLB Sarawak: Stricter penalties for commercial vehicle operators starting September

AI Summary

Starting September, Sarawak's Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (CVLB) will implement stricter enforcement for commercial vehicle operators. A new framework introduces escalating penalties for offences within a three-year period. The first offence results in a warning, the second a show-cause letter, the third a six-month license suspension, and the fourth a license termination. A fifth offence leads to revocation of all licenses held by the operator and blacklisting of the operator and its directors. This aims to improve road safety and address concerns about non-compliance.
