are your brake pads sirim approved?

[ah lian]

well, from july 2010 onwards, you cant even change your own brake pads at home after dinner (like fabianyee) anymore! :stupid: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/11/5/nation/20091105161211&sec=nation i wunder how they are going to enforce this?

 

[fabianyee]

Does that mean DIY oso cannot????

 

[astroboy]

Gulp... need to look for other hobby to sweat out lio..

Sub standard brake pads plenty la.. RM20/box 100% used by Taxi.. :top:

 

[Mouse]

bravo, our brilliant gorment have think of something to make quick buck again

 

[BlackE90]

Aiyoh...my imported & better than original pads can't be used by next year liao.... don't have SIRIM MS1 164 approval.

 

[jarance]

Question should be!!! Is BMW Sirim approved?

 

[eau-rouge]

if the parts are from germany, well must be TUV approved
SIRIM??? huh..tak pandang

 

[Guna]

WTF What in the world have these fellas got for brains??


I have to say this is surely the King of all crappy Budgets!!

What next?only imported underwears?Where the hell is the logic behind all these?I suppose just as logical as the RM50 for every credit card la...Can't change your own brake pads??This is a joke right?

 

[MalzE36]

Is this implying that after market braking products like brembo cannot be used anymore due to SIRIM?? If its good enough for supercars like ferrari it isnt good enough for the rest of us?? Sigh.

 

[flash]

As usual, another half-baked idea from the gomen. The idea may be good but the implementation of it, as usual, is flawed. Before coming out with the idea, they do not take into account all angles... just implement lor and as and when there is an issue, damage control... no wonder our gomen is wishy washy....

In the industry, it is normal to follow many standards that are equivalent to each other.

In Malaysia, we have SIRIM and Singapore SISIR. We used to follow BS (British Standard) long ago and later SI (International Standard). (Which further develope into IEC.) Of course there are many country who have their own standard which are similar to each other like JIS, VIN, ASEC, TUV, DIN.

I know most reputable manufacturer of brake have published specification of their product and will also state the compliance to known standard.

let hope that the authority will clarify this matter.

Meantime, let hope that most importer of brake pads should apply for approval or acknowledgment that their product complied to SIRIM MSI 164 standard.

IMHO, it about time we strictly enforced all this countermeasure to ensure the safety of the ALL road user.

if all cars on the roads were proton, it cud be possible... but ha ha ha ha ha...

they fail to consider that they cant control all suppliers (since not all import from distributors) and may come from all over the world. they also kennot check by holding jpj road blocks... so they wanna camp out at how many workshops in the country, including the under the tree or the one at home (hehe)...

C- for the idea, total F for practicality of implementation/ability to enforce.... A+ for trying.
conclusion? D for credibility.

 

[E46Fanatic]

Sound like they are only going after workshops who stock non SIRIM approve brake products. I highly doubt they will do roadblocks to remove your wheel and pad and do chemical composition tests on your brake fluids at the side of the road

 

[fabianyee]

When they come out with shitty and vague policies, the enforcers at the front line oso blur sotong. Anything without SIRIM logo would have issues.. Like they care whether it's TUV approved, or FIA approved..

Tell me, which is more superior, a RM50 SIRIM approved open-face helmet or a RM1000 FIA or TUV approved full face helmet???

However, on the other hand, there unscrupulous businesses which make inferior products in their backyard or import them and sell to the workshops. And some workshops do buy knowingly as there are clients who still buy becos it's cheap, with total disregard to safety...

if all cars on the roads were proton, it cud be possible... but ha ha ha ha ha...

thats the long term plan...to have all cars on the road to be protons...:afraid:
