JPJ guarantees sufficient road tax disc supply for CNY

In response to a report by a local news site citing a shortage of road tax stickers causing interruptions in vehicle sales in the run up to Chinese New Year, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) has clarified in a statement that there is sufficient supply at JPJ, Pos Malaysia, MyEG and Puspakom outlets nationwide.

A total of 1,145,000 road tax stickers have been supplied to the above outlets as of January 2021, and an additional 420,000 stickers have been supplied more recently in order to prevent any occurrence of a shortage, JPJ said, the department adding that it is closely monitoring the supply situation and guarantees against any shortage that will cause further complications related to vehicle road tax.

The road transport department has at the same time advised users to conduct transactions online where possible, and not rush to obtain documents at physical counters to avoid crowding at JPJ locations and those of its business partners in light of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

The second movement control order (MCO 2.0) has seen the scaling down of counter operations at JPJ outlets, leading the transport ministry to once again exempt the requirement for the renewal of expired road tax and driver licences for the period of February 1 to March 31.

As before, licensed drivers may still operate their motor vehicles on-road for as long as the vehicle has valid insurance, said transport minister Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong. In this case, drivers are advised to retain a copy of the vehicle’s insurance certificate (e-cover note) as proof, in case verification is requested by enforcement personnel.

All road tax and competent driving licences (CDLs) that have lapsed during this period of exemption will need to be renewed within a period of 30 days, which means users have until April 30 to complete the necessary.

    OMG..JPJ again..thousands of rakyat lost their jobs,from pilots to janitors.These dudes have a solid income,but yet fail to perform simple tasks,like getting road tax discs ready for post office and authorised agents.
    Are we asking them to make a rocket like Elon Musk to go to outer space? Perhaps,these people are overqualified and lebih ajar(not kurang ajar)but just settle for mediocrity.
    Taxpayers have a right to demand the rightful authorities start removing the recalcitrant deadwood.Just disgusting, unacceptable , outrageous and shambolic.

      Betol brader..and then JPJ come down hard on dressing code. Bagi peringatan “Customers must dress modestly and appropriately, in line with the fifth Rukun Negara, Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan.”
      But their own got involved in illicit deeds… Sindiket cloned kereta, lesen terbang, Tender number plate, pegawai JPJ busy negotiating at roadside.. with overloaded Trailer trucks and teksi, van with few banglas.
      Rukun perlu dipraktikkan, bukan sekadar dilafaz.
      2. Kesetiaan kepada raja dan negara
      3. Keluhuran perlembagaan
      4. Kedaulatan undang-undang
