The MyLesen programme, which came into effect last month, has registered a total of 20,000 motorcyclists so far. Despite the fee reduction to obtain a motorcycle license (from RM350 to RM299), the response for the pilot programme hasn’t quite met the Road Transport Department’s (JPJ) target, The Star reports.
Prior to this, it was reported that the programme was to assist some 3.35 million riders without a valid license. The department’s director general Datuk Ismail Ahmad said that it had “targeted to reach out to youths aged 16 years and above, but probably they are busy with their final or SPM examinations as the year is coming to an end.”
He however had hopes that the response would improve gradually. “We are confident of gaining more participants next time around, as the programme will be held continuously in efforts to ensure all motorists possess a valid licence,” he said.
On another note, a total of 195 driving institutes have since signed the Corporate Integrity Pledge (CIP), according to Ahmad. All 205 driving institutes nationwide are expected to sign the pledge to ensure that drivers-to-be are properly educated on road rules as well as to tackle corruption.

Can we have the same discount to obtain a car license?
What are the bodohs at PDRM doing until the figure bloated to 3.35 million?? Don’t forget, this is the official figure. Unofficial usually double. So, there are about 6 million without licence.
This shows, the corrupted PDRM has failed in their job. Always road block here and there but situation getting worse. It could only mean one thing, when offenders were caught at the road blocks, the PDRM officers makan duit kopi and let the offenders lose.
This is why it has bloated to 3.35 million (6 million). If there had not taken money and fined the offenders, this would put fear in many prospective to be offenders.
No wonder why you have so many accidents in Malaysia. So many no licence riders. And when you knock a motor down because of the moto’s negligence, the polis come down hard on you cause they feel for their own people. But they don’t realise, their own people got no licence!
