It seems there has been no rush to obtain Road Transport Department (JPJ) services despite the department having announced that it will be shutting down its operations completely from December 23 to December 27, The Star reports.
The publication said that there were no crowds at the JPJ office at the Pudu Sentral urban transformation centre (UTC) on Saturday, and many who turned up weren’t aware that there would be a lengthy service disruption later this week.
The situation was the same at the JPJ counter at the Bandar Baru Sentul UTC, with staff saying that the volume was that it normally had every Saturday.
Last Friday, the department had made the announcement via a notice on its website. It said 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 during the period.
A JPJ spokesman told the publication that the department chose the period to upgrade its system as there would be minimal disruption, given the two public holidays this week. The shutdown period – which coincides with national holidays on December 24 and 25 – will take place from 10 pm on December 23 right through to 7 am on December 27.
The department said it needed to upgrade its systems to cope with the daily rise in vehicle registrations as well as to improve its mySIKAP computer system.
