He also expressed intention to do away with the rule that one has to get approval before applying any extra tint beyond the 70% and 50% levels on their vehicles.Relaxing the tint rule will be welcomed happily by all motorists for sure. With the recent climate changes all around the world especially with Malaysia being a country near the equator, our current levels of tint cannot cope with the increasing daytime heat.</p></blockquote><p></p>
