No enforcement action will be taken if the number of back passengers in a car exceed the number of rear seat belts available for safety wear.
Transport Minister Datuk Ong Tee Keat said this was because each vehicle only had three rear seat belts installed as required by the government.
"We are aware of such cases involving families with more than three children each and it's the only car they can afford to have. We understand this.
"We will not take action if the fourth rear passenger is not wearing a seat belt. But our position in this matter should not encourage people to overload their vehicles," he said.
