Planning on renewing your road tax or registering that new car before the year is out? Well, better make it quick, because there won’t be any Road Transport Department (JPJ) services available for a five-day period from next week, The Star reports.
The department announced via a notice on its website that it will be halting all its available services from December 23 to December 27.
It said the shutdown period – which coincides with two national holidays on December 24 and 25 – was to facilitate an upgrading of its systems, which will take place from 10 pm on December 23 right through to 7 am on December 27.
Apologising for any inconvenience caused, the department added that all activities, be it at JPJ counters, Pos Malaysia counters, JPJ kiosks, MyEG kiosks, UTC (Urban Transformation Centre) as well as phone transactions by the public, companies or JPJ business partners will be closed.

shutdown for upgrading or shutdown because all staff apply for leave?
Why every year got upgrade software? Last year when system down during end of year also give same excuse
Can jpj share who is supplier and how much is the cost?
Ke arah negara maju berpendapatan tinggi menjelang 2020. What? System upgrading cause no business for 5 days? Malaysia Boleh! Boleh Sangat!
Normally also always offline…now…totally shut down! Malaysia sangat boleh!
Upgrades are necesary evil… if the change manager said the risk of upgrading can be mitigate by allowing more time so be it….
But still, who’s the IT vendor? 5 days for a systems upgrade kinda long… must be a very major one
system upgrades is a major things and it must be planned months before.
WHY JPJ only gave 7days notice???
should at least announce 30days earlier….
Must’ve already postponed the upgrade a few times until the last minute.
Let the City Council-JPJ summons integration begin!
There are 365 days in a year. Why JPJ chose to “upgrade” the system during this critical period where car distributors and dealers are rushing and fighting for registrations at these very few days left before 2015 ends ?
And, Liow Tiong Lai, you know many consumers want to take delivery of their cars for Christmas and New Year holidays ?
And, Why JPJ can’t be more sensitive and considerate ?
And, why need to shut down the system completely for 5 looooong days ?
And, I bet, the system won’t be back to function on 28/12/15, for sure.
So true! I am rushing to register too and my loan has not been approved yet :( Hopefully I can make it before year end
probably their staff all on holiday, system upgrade just an excuse
Sebenarnya JPJ nak gabungkan sistem saman Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan dengan sistem SIKAP-nya. Sebab tu update sampai 5 hari.
Nasi Lemak manages software with nasi lemak stuff… Expected!
Crazy. End of the month. End of the year. During salary time, but jpj shutdown.
