The transport ministry will introduce an automated system for driving tests, with a pilot project set to take place in Johor within one or two months. This is according to transport minister Anthony Loke in a report by The Star, who said the move would help curb the ‘kopi-o’ license culture in Malaysia.
“There will be no examiner sitting next to learner drivers. We will use an automated process, with the circuit equipped with CCTVs and cables,” said Loke. With this system, the learner drivers’ skills would be evaluated by an examiner from a control room, minimising the need for human intervention.
Should an applicant fail the test because he or she believes it was because no duit kopi (under-the-counter bribe) was paid, an appeal can be made based on evidence from the cameras.
Loke also said the ministry was aware of “guaranteed pass” packages being offered to those who want to obtain a driving license. “Some openly advertise these packages on Facebook, promising their customers that they could obtain a license without having to sit for the test. But we are determine to change this kind of culture,” he said.

Syabas YB.. Malaysia Baru headed to a clean, transparent and efficient community. wipeout Budaya ‘duit kopi’ & ‘songlap’ once & for all.
No the songlap and kopi o is centralised. Tahniah Loki. U shud be made FM instead of math failure LGE.
WHAT! Loki wants to introduce an automated system for driving tests in Johor within 1/2 months!! This is too fast. Many people like john & his basher will protest & say U gave this contract to your crony.
Lets see some interesting comments coming after this. Meanwhile cheers… bcoz there are more interesting news coming from our high court where our former leader is in the limelight.
Yg x masuk lokap yg plg lama berkuasa :D. Yg kena hancing rakyat :DDD
This is good progress and change! We’re killing two birds with one stone. Duit Kopi is one thing, but putting unfit drivers on the road can be deadly. These people are not only endangering themselves but also others on the road. Although this is the first step, I believe more effort can be taken to fix the way Malaysians drive.
Wow… like VAR! Nice! LoL…
I am sure there will be challenges such as Learners contesting the decisions. Popcorn please!
