KUCHING, 6 October 2024: The Vehicle Theft and Accident Reduction Council of Malaysia (VTAREC) continues to promote the importance of keeping our cars safe to raise awareness and knowledge about vehicle theft. This campaign is to secure the safety of the Kuching community and protect their vehicle and avoid being stolen. The public awareness was held in Level 1, AEON Mall Kuching Central, Kuching, Sarawak. The slogan ‘United Against Vehicle Theft’ calls for the community in Sarawak to stand together stronger to protect their vehicles from being victims of vehicle theft. At the end of the day, participants become more vigilant and take the necessary precautions to protect their vehicles and avoid being the victim of a stolen vehicle.

The public engagement received much participation from the community in Kuching. This public engagement also received participation from Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM). Many activities have been prepared by VTAREC, such as engagement wall, wheel of fortunes, quizzes and colouring contests, which attract many visitors from the mall to join the VTAREC booth.
YBrs Puan Mas Tina Abdul Hamid, Co-ordinator of VTAREC, advises always using a steering lock device like a universal steering lock for safety measures to avoid being victims of vehicle theft. Other than that, she advised us to install and use wheel locks, GPS trackers, RFID blockers and immobilisers to add safety features and countermeasures to protect our car from being stolen.
