Did you know that every single passenger, including yourself, in the car is precious, just like how precious your life is? Hence, don’t be selfish and ignore the safety of your child. A child is the jewel of the family, and you, as a parent, need to protect them from any circumstances. That is why the Child Restraint System (CRS) regulation has been gazetted by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) under the Road Transport Act 1978-Motor Vehicles (Safety Seat-belts) (Amendment) Rules 2019. The Child Restraint System (CRS) was implemented under the law on January 1, 2020 for all private vehicles.
