The Road Transport Department (JPJ) is campaigning get the the 1.2 million Malaysians without driving licences to apply for them, according to a Bernama report. The department wants to know the reasons why people forego driving licenses despite being eligible for them, said JPJ director-general Datuk Nadzri Siron.
“The JPJ wants to know whether they do not want to drive, do not have a vehicle or (are) dependent on public transport. We have to trace them to avoid problems, especially if they drive without a driving licence,” he said. Last month, it was reported that 80% of students who use motorcycles to go to school do not have a valid licence.
This effort is part of the Road Safety Plan 2014-2020 which set a target to reduce up to 50% of fatal accidents in this country, according to Nadzri. “Of the total number of cases, some 62% involved motorcycles. There are 18.8 million registered vehicles that are still active and they involve 14 million drivers,” he said.

Reduce the cost. Driving school time should be minimal, or even optional.
Those who have lived overseas (especially USA) will understand the situation.
Tak apa la..
Typical Msian culture – when accidents occur, then only we act.
Most concern are the Mat rempit’s yet the BN ministry still pampered with them… shame on the ministry !!!
It’s not that expensive.
A typical 16/18 y.o who works part time for a month or two could afford it.
Kids these days are just too dependant on their parents, and the parents are just ignorant about their own children’s well-being.
Now only the know
Ada lesen or takda lesen oso no difference, all drive/ride like shaitans with death wish to bring as many together with them.
aiyoo.. settle dulu warga asing yg bawa kete moto. berapa ramai pemotong rumput naik moto…
Driving School is a place to generate money instead of generating sensible drivers.
people are not taking driving license because uber and grab is doing a good job ferrying them around. they don’t need one.
Does it matter to JPJ if 1.2 million Malaysians does not own a driving license? I don’t see a problem as long as they don’t drive a car, causing harm to others. Can’t blame people for not liking to drive.
JPJ should be more concern about taking action against those who drive without a license instead of campaigning to get them to apply. Leave those who doesn’t like to drive alone.
They can afford to pay driving license but can’t afford to pay driving school fees
Ambik lesen serupa beli motor baru.
Baik beli motor baru daripada ambik lesen.
Ada duit utk beli moto baru.
Ada duit utk pasang sport rim baru.
Ada duit utk tambah exhaust bising baru.
Xde duit utk dapatkan lesen, tapi ada hati nak komplen.
Inilah rakyat MY.
Kenapa tiba tiba ada duit untuk sport rim baru & exhaust bising? Ingat semua orang Naik motor sebab nak merempit ke? Hahahah. You’re so funny.
Terbaik
The cost to take license very the mahal one.. nearly 2K, half the everage malaysia population salary. Government should not to buat untung from the rakyat!!
Does this figure include those whose license has expired, but did not (or forgot) to renew them? Or just ppl who have never applied. Some could be studying/working overseas, so maybe they applied for a driving license there.
Want a license means can get is it?
They forgot one possible scenario is that this 1.2mil went for exam tapi tak pass.
You have 14mil license holders and 1.2mil non-holders, the numbers look ok mah, I don’t see the issue.
Before you do all the things. Get away you corruption issue first. And the first thing to do to get away the corruption is to get away the Malaysia Official No 1.
At least we know Mr Hafriz & Mr Sze have license.

Getting the license with high price do not cause high accident rate. Germany is one of the country with high license fee but their drivers are generally good and obey to law. Why? they have good system, good enforcement, traffic police no asking for coffee fee.
getting caught by polis and takde lesen???
offer “donation” lor….surely kawtim…..
Easiest way to get them to comply is;
Responsibility!
Owner of the vehicle will be severely punished if the vehicle is operated by a person without a valid licence.
Severe punishment doesn’t mean meager fine or rotan. But as follows;
1) Confiscation of vehicle. Financially this will put a red flag on the owner of the vehicle so this will deter some of them from allowing people without licence using the vehicle.
2) Fine with the amount of 3 times the value of the vehicle. This will again deter even more owners to borrow their vehicles and this works on different levels. Eg; a RM3,600 motorbike will be fined RM10,800 and so it’ll be taxing for them whereas a RM1m sports car will be fined RM3m so even the ultra-rich will think twice before allowing it. (Even duit-kopi to settle this will be insane)
3) 2 weeks prison (not jail) for both owner and offender. This is not intended to punish but instead educate them the fear and reality of being behind bars.
When these are the consequences of getting caught, these people would start to register and get a proper licence.
I don’t understand this article/JPJ statement. 1.2 million from total 30 million population? From total car owners? From JPJ/ police road blocks? Just saying 1.2 million do not own driving license is a very vague statement
Not just Malaysian. Nowadays, i saw many foreign peoples driving vans, iswara even wira stopped at traffic lights. Does they have the valid license? they even can to buy a local cars also without I/C?
