Motorists who have recently attempted to renew their road tax might be aware of a shortage of road tax discs preventing them from getting the deed done. The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has acknowledged the matter and issued a press release to explain the situation.
According to JPJ, the road tax disc (or sticker) supply disruption was caused by problems with the printer, which had trouble printing the serial number and security features on the disc. The malfunction was caused by a failure of a main component of the printer, which needs repair work from the principal. JPJ has demanded a detailed report from the road tax disc supplier on the matter for further action.
The department said that “drastic action” has been taken by the supplier to resume the supply of 50,000 pieces of the road tax disc to JPJ per day. To ease the shortage, JPJ and its supplier has dispatched 20,000 pieces to JPJ Selangor. Also, 20,000 pieces have been sent to JPJ Wilayah Persekutuan, 40,000 pieces to Pos Malaysia and 5,000 pieces to MyEG.

US, AKU fancy plate nomor OK aje.
They have only ONE printer with no backups? Who is the idiot who signed the contract with the supplier?
JPJ your sticker road tax sux. Few hours after sticking, it warps. Benci!
50k prints in one day. Imagine each supplied at 2 ringgit price. Wow. Just wow
Typical Malayisia system. Nak bayak wang kepada mereka pun susah sangat untuk mereka menerima.
No one using tax disc anymore. Move on JPJ. Employ more enforcement on the road with vans that equip with camera that recognise road tax or insurance dodgers. JPJ are you really that far behind?
Yes we are
employ enforcer or contractor to do it?? masyuk…
Its call Complacency…why changed when you are already stays at comfort zone… no need to learn fancy sophisticated tools or tasks…
JPJ fail? Supplier fail? Don’t tell the Malaysian public that all the printers fail at the same time? Post office, JPJ office around KL, Selangor also break down?
It is not the printer at all the outlet you said. It is the printer of the company who supply the blank/new road tax disc. Next time read the article first.
and those discs are of terrible quality. i have to use tape to hold them together one month after installing.
Yeah man so true, every time also not sticky after just a short while pasting on the windscreen.
Malaysia does not have a maintenance culture, no wonder printer rosak.
so many copies per day and only rely on one supplier ? and why is JPJ not changing the ROAD TAX color yearly…to easier monitor when it expires !
Might want to rethink about the ‘stickers’.
Shortage now, most likely more shortage in future.
They could always cut costs and make it smaller, or go for fancy scanner codes.
Agree with you. A road tax sticker with a credit card size would be enough. Jimat kos.
Sounds like trying to legitimate new system purchase.
I’ll try using this excuse with the cops.
Hell NO…. We are always in the wrong. Prepare for pesta saman….
Will price get lower.
Send me the pdf file. I print from home.
system from the Jurassic era. everything is electronic. why wanna still print like a dinosaur? save environment and go paperless for god sake. but forgot how to make money like that!
Why do sticker when no one borther to stick them?
Without sticking, it’s so much easier to clone/duplicate fake roadtax
JPJ, if you dowan to keep much stock, make your supplier keep laaa aduh…
Where is the press release from JPJ? What does it says about summons for expired road tax arising from their issue? It is not the public’s fault so they should not summons us.
Zaman semakin moden tapi Malaysia style semakin undur, jangan menafi, terima lah , sampai benda macam ini pun boleh putus stock, macam 2 boleh, patut lah org selalu sorak MALAYSIA BOLEH
Can I get a reprint road tax disc if those wordings faded out due to prolong sunshine heat?
