Press Release: ASEAN NCAP Phase III Results Announcement in Melbourne (5 May 2014)

The New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP) will announce its Phase 3 results in the 2014 Global NCAP Annual Forum which will be held in Melbourne, in conjunction with the 2014 UN Decade of Action Policy & Donor Forum. The latter is organized by the Commission for Global Road Safety that serves as an annual progress report on the UN Decade of Action.

ASEAN NCAP apologizes for the delay to inform this decision since the original plan to held the event (Open Day III) in Bangkok was cancelled due to Thailand’s political situation. ASEAN NCAP Secretary-General, Mr. Khairil Anwar Abu Kassim said the decision was made to also honor the most important event in the UN Decade of Action. “This is not even our Plan B (in Malaysia) as we announced earlier, but we being offered such opportunity especially by Global NCAP to do this in Melbourne”.

ASEAN NCAP Chairman, Prof. Dr. Wong Shaw Voon, expresses his gratitude to all parties that have work together with MIROS and Global NCAP in this pilot phase. “We are focusing at the regional level, and we hope to see the impact in the very near future. At the same time we think our approach in developing NCAP in ASEAN is unique and we are willing to share our formula especially when dealing with the industry” he added.
