Proton extends rear belt installation service

Proton today announced an extension of its free rear centre lap belt
installation service from Dec 31, 2011 to Jan 31, 2012, as part of its
ongoing Rear Centre Lap Belt Campaign.



Since the Government first announced in June 2008 a new ruling to
make it compulsory for vehicles to be fitted with the safety device,
Proton has been installing rear centre lap belts at no cost to owners of
affected Proton models -- the Saga LMST and Gen.2 models manufactured
between 2004 and 2008.



"We would like to urge our customers with the affected cars, and
Malaysians in general, to not only comply with the new ruling to avoid
getting fined by the authorities, but to adopt the practice of using
seat belts for rear occupants in the name of safety," said Proton
Holdings Berhad group managing director Datuk Seri Haji Syed Zainal
Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir in a statement. -- Bernama
