PUTRAJAYA — The next time you get into the car with the family in Malaysia, ensure that those in the back buckle up too.

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) is about to enforce the mandatory use of seat belts for all drivers and passengers in private vehicles nationwide.

Although its current priority is to carry out advocacy programmes on seat belt usage — especially through the Klik Sebelum Gerak (click before moving) campaign — enforcement will start soon, said its director-general Aedy Fadly Ramli.
