The Road Transport Department (RTD) will implement whatever decisions to be passed at a workshop on the direction and policy on use of dark-tinted glass in the country, its director-general, Datuk Seri Ismail Ahmad said Sunday.
As an implementing agency, he said, RTD would enforce whatever decisions made by the Transport Ministry.
"The two-day workshop, which begins on Monday will evaluate the matters, encompassing aspects on safety, crime and health.
"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" he added.
He said this at a media conference after presenting aid to 23 personnel of the RTD Kemaman branch office who were affected by the floods in December last year.
On a picture of a vehicle with dark-tinted glass purportedly belonging to him, which was being widely circulated, Ismail 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 per cent darkness for the front glass and 50 per cent for the rear and side mirror.
"Perhaps, because of the lighting, the glass looks darker," he said, adding that use of dark-tinted glass was allowed for enforcement agencies for security of their staff.
