The Malaysian traffic police have their eyes wide open to catch your rear sear passengers for not wearing seat belts. It is by per passenger that they will be fined. And obviously, you know how to get out of the situation. So beware if you are driving in Malaysia, do not forget to buckle up. By law, they are doing their duty but.....why risk getting fined.
Seat belt rule in Malaysia is harsher than what I thought - Jail term 1 year
(From their press release found in internet)
PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) and police will start issuing summonses from Jan 1 to all passengers for not wearing their rear seat belts.JPJ director-general Datuk Solah Mat Hassan said vehicle owners and passengers would be given a six-month grace period during which they would only be issued a compound of RM300 for not wearing their rear seat belts.
