Hi, I have a used queen size bed frame with cushioned headboard storage. Dim 66"x86". It is a waste to dispose off as it is still very usable. If you known of anyone who needs it, please let me know. Thank you.

May 7, 12:06 AM EDT Malaysia to crack down on scam in which usable halves of junked cars are welded together By JULIA ZAPPEI Associated Press Writer KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) -- Malaysia will require all vehicles to undergo inspection before being resold, in a bid to end a flourishing scam where the usable halves of two junked cars are welded together and painted over. Transport Minister Chan Kong Choy said the government was concerned about the high number of vehicles that consist of welded "half-cuts," coming from bad accidents or from abroad, The Star newspaper reported Monday. A ministry official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to make public statements, confirmed the report, saying the requirement would take effect "very soon." Chan reportedly said the Cabinet had approved a bylaw to require inspection before ownership can be transferred to protect used-car buyers from purchasing such "kereta potong" or "half cars," which are structurally weak and unsafe to drive. "We are moving one step further to make it mandatory to undergo a road worthiness test," Chan was quoted as saying. The inspection will be done by Puspakom, a private company that specializes in keeping records of used cars. Most banks require a history record from Puspakom before sanctioning auto loans. The practice of joining two halves started a few years ago when insurance companies ordered totaled cars fixed to save money, The Star said. From January to March, Puspakom reportedly detected an average of 20 cases each day. Last year some 4,600 cases were recorded. The Federation of Motor and Credit Companies Association of Malaysia has welcomed the ministry's move but expressed concerns about Puspakom being the only one officially able to inspect the cars, the daily said. The federation reportedly said Puspakom would have a monopoly, leading to long queues there and possible corruption when people seek alternative, faster ways to get inspection certificates. Chan said the ministry was continuing to study the possibility of barring old vehicles from Malaysia's roads to avoid cut-and-join vehicles and boost car sales, the newspaper reported.
