Holders of the learner driver license (LDL) have been given until June next year for them to be renewed, said transport minister Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong. The extension has been granted by the road transport department (JPJ) to help those unable to follow through on the licensing process and take their driving test due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, The Star reported.
“Previously, we extended the validity of the LDL, which was three months, to November this year. As transport minister, I have agreed to give an extension for the LDL to June 30 next year. Those with [the] LDL no longer have to rush to go through their driving tests with the extension given, as they will have more time to make the necessary arrangements,” he said.
Prior to this, the JPJ stated in August that all road users were required to have their driving licenses and road tax renewed by September 30, with no further extension given beyond that date.
Meanwhile, the transport ministry is also looking into providing more mobile JPJ counters for the public to more easily gain access to the department’s services during the pandemic. There are currently 17 mobile JPJ counters around the country, or roughly one for each state, and the transport ministry will be in talks with the finance ministry to provide more mobile JPJ units, the transport minister said.
“The ministry will also be adding 50 more JPJ kiosks nationwide. We will be getting the supply for the kiosks between October and November this year,” said Wee, adding that the mobile counters are helpful for those living in areas without a JPJ office or post office.

UK is on the way to use digital driving license, just like digital vaccine cert in MySejahtera. No more % for commission on hardcopy plastic card procurement after this. Brave enough?
Bro. Ur driving lesen id is also inside ur mykad. The purpose they still give out id cards is for us to use during registry when entering friends condo, u know when their jaga request to leave our id card for their keeping. I much prefer that than leaving my mykad with them.
Bro.the name should be change from driving license to condo entry id card then.
Pls ask the condo mgmt to allow use my business card before asking Gomen to banish driving lesen pls.
Condo management;
Asking for MyKad or Driving License for inspection/record details = Yes
Retaining MyKad or Driving License = NO, a big No
National Registration Regulation 1990 (Ammendment 2007):
8A Retaining an identity card of another person is an offence.
“It shall be an offence punishable under regulation 25, for any person, not being an officer referred under sub-regulation 7(1) to unreasonably detain an identity card other than his own.”
Anyone found guilty can be potentially face up to 3 years in prison or afine up to RM20k.
Only certain officer are allowed to inspect and request us to produce MyKad or Driving License:
1. NRD officer
2. Police officer
3. Customs officer
4. Member of Armed Forces on duty
5. Public officer authorised by The Director General
Try telling that to virtually all the condo management JMB ya. Don’t just talk here
Why didn’t the gomen also put the digital vaccination cert in each person’s MyKad instead of relying on smartphones & mysejahtera app?
So you prefer some hacker to rip your ID data while purportedly scanning your Mysejahtera? Feels about right if you don’t mind identity theft.
Since when the MyKad smartchip runs on MySejahtera app?
Do try to read *why lah* comment again will you.
*why lah* asked why digi vac cert didn’t put in MyKad. Then Alan asked whether prefer hacker to rip id data while scanning mysejahtera. When read MyKad smart chip, mana ada pakai mysejahtera app which is for smartphone. Lain kali baca semua betul2.
