In the future, one will not need to physically be at the Road Transport Department (JPJ) office when buying a used car or selling a car. According to The Star, the eSerahan Tukar Milik (eSTM) electronic vehicle ownership transfer system is ready, and is just waiting for approval from the Finance Ministry.
“Used car sellers and buyers need only be present at the second hand car dealers to complete their ownership transfer procedures,” Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said at the Penang and Province Wellesley Used Cars Autocycles Dealers and Motor Financiers Association’s 44th anniversary dinner on Saturday.
“The eSTM is an extension of the current temporary transfer system, known as the Tukar Milik Sementara, which uses the biometric features of the MyKad and thumbprint verification of the sellers as well as buyers.
“The biometric identification system makes the transfer of vehicle ownership simple and safer. It has been fully developed and it is in the final stages before implementation,” Liow said, adding that the approval should be given soon.
The eSTM, when in operation this year, should be a boon for busy city dwellers who have to transfer ownership of a vehicle, as JPJ offices are often crowded. No need for a runner, too.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
So after this no need to worry about what to wear to go to JPJ. Wear nothing also can!
Long time due. Other developed countries already adopted this.
Who gets the contract?
Any open tender?
How many hundreds of millions are involved this time?
Another cronies project add more transportation keep rising price.
Hope this system won’t increase of any item price…
Under Finance Minister every damn things increase except salary !!!
Something not right.
How will all the samseng JPJ now earn a living from the runners? Since now if using electronic transfer no need runners right?
Really ah?
Wonder when they will do away with the equally time wasting and non-value added Puspakom. Another crony money making scheme.
Dont worry, this will be either screwed up and dont work.
Or crony shits get the contract and everyone pay more.
If Finance minister approve just notify officially as many out there still not fully aware.
this is BS. so many dealers refuse to even do temporary ownership transfer. the damn system and law must be revamped to allow owners to relinquish vehicle ownership once it is sold to the dealers. eSTM does not solve the problem of dealers not completing transfer of ownership after selling off a vehicle. they only care about the money they make.
