The two-day workshop on the direction and policy of the use of vehicle tints begins tomorrow, and the Road Transport Department (JPJ) will implement whatever decisions are made at the workshop, Bernama reports.

Director-general Datuk Seri Ismail Ahmad said that as an implementing agency, JPJ would enforce whatever decisions were made by the Transport ministry.

"If it decides that everybody cannot use dark-tinted glass, we will enforce the regulation, and if it decides to allow everybody to use dark-tinted glass, we will also enforce it," Bernama quoted him as saying.

Apparently, a picture of a dark-tinted vehicle, allegedly belonging to Ismail, was being widely circulated. He said it belonged to another officer.

"The picture is not accurate actually because the glass is not very dark because it meets the stipulated specification, which is 30% darkness for the front glass and 50% for the rear and side (windows).

"Perhaps, because of the lighting, the glass looks darker," he said, adding that the use of dark-tinted glass was permitted for enforcement agencies for the security of their staff.
