Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said a review of the law to empower the authorities to dispose of abandoned vehicles was being carried out with the Transport Ministry. They are looking at no fewer than eight million abandoned vehicles across the country, much to the chagrin of neighbourhood residents and premises owners. Wan Junaidi told the New Straits Times that officers from both ministries had met last month to discuss amendments to allow the de-registration and confiscation of abandoned vehicles for disposal. “We have eight million abandoned cars all over the country, and these are only the ones we know about. He said the matter was being deliberated, but added that it might be possible after the owners signed off a vehicle “discharge form”.
