The fees for obtaining a class B2 motorcycle licence has been reduced from RM350 to RM299. According to The Star, the move is seen as a method “to tackle the scourge of those who ride without licences.” Said reduction is due to come into effect on September 15 to coincide with the launch of the MyLesen programme.
“We found that as many as three in ten youngsters were still riding without a licence,” said transport minister, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai. “Such an act is serious and unacceptable,” he added. Speaking to the media, Liow commented that driving schools around the nation had already agreed to the new ceiling prices.
With that said, Liow has urged individuals without a valid B2-class motorcycle licence to take advantage of the MyLesen programme to obtain one before the authorities decide to take action on them. The MyLesen programme was initiated as part of efforts to assist motorcycle riders without valid paperwork – an estimated 3.6 million riders are said to be operating motorcycles without licences in the country.

Welcome and more mat rempat will be on the road… Including scratch thief.
Transport Minister just lose his mind???
Seriously I pity those poor people who have a motorbike only…and yet you make fun of them…let them have a proper license…why must everything be so negative…
I totally agree with you on your statement. FYI i have a D licence of 15 years and just got my B full licence (contemplated for years on if should get a bike and decided to get one due to work logistics)
On the test day i mingled with people from all walks of life.. rich.. poor.. students.. professionals.. expacts.. kampung folk.. i learnt that some can only afford a bike for their daily commute to work.. and also to send their kids to school.. i learnt that they need a bike to get to their college / university.. sometimes its the only option they have..
Most of the youngsters were in school or just finished school… they were taking the B2… and interestingly.. many came back due to failing the dreaded ‘titi’…
Some said that they would give up and ride without a licence if they fail again..
For those non riders.. i tell you this.. the “titi” is hard. You need to balance ureself on it.. and get to the end in MORE than 7 seconds… it takes skill.. i must say..
By making the fees lower.. it is a benefit.. it will make it more accessible for lower income groups.. nowadays rm250 is alot of money..
Im not pro gomen or what not.. but as a biker.. that uses i bike as part of my daily travles.. i think it is a good move.
After getting my license and riding my bike daily.. i have more respect for the motorists.. even the ones without a licence. In the end it is reckless riders that cause havoc.. licence or no licence
Mr Liow, Could you clarify why “Such an act is serious and unacceptable”? Is it because that those without license are proven to be not capable in handling the bike and thus endanger other road users? Or is it because your ministry needs the income hence not acceptable?
With or without license, do you know that our driving schools and the whole process of getting license need a major revamp??
The whole system has proven to produce sub standard drivers and riders, so does it matter whether they have a license?
tinmilo, tinmilo… bunyi kuat kalau ketok masa dah kosong. Hang punya hujah ni yg mana satu? Perlunya ada lesen atau budaya memandu yg tak berdisiplin? Mana satu nak cerita? Habaq mai! Kaki kecoh tinmilo ni!
hehehe… Minta maaf ya bang rosdi, aku cuma tak tahan lalang liow tu. apa je dia cakap aku kan ketok :p
Pandangan aku adalah lesen tak lesen tu bukan yang paling penting. Kepentingan nya adalah pada budaya dan “kualiti” pemandu kita. Masalah ni hanya boleh diselesai kalau kita mengubah suai system secara keseluruhan (termasuk quality instruktor, sylibus, ujian, dan sebagai nya)
lalang liow tu hanya buat kerja senang je, sebenar nya masalah tanpa lesen ni pada pandangan saya bukan nya serious sangat, dan turun kan harga RM50 adalah satu tindakan wayang kulit je.
Thats my line of thought as well.
Cheaper is good but I don’t ever remember the Test being that expensive? How did it get so expensive in the first place? What sort of value-add did they provide for the “student” when they had to pay more?
But then again, we all know what demographic this is to applease.
What demographic? The malays??
More rempit wanabe going to terrorize our roads. Hurray.
are you really this stupid?? do you really think mat rempit really care about license? or do you just wanna be some smart alec?
