The transport ministry (MoT) has announced the formation of a digital advisory committee (Jawatankuasa Penasihat Digital, JPD) consisting of ICT experts from various industries to assist in the digitalisation efforts of the ministry.
According to a statement released by MoT today, JPD will contribute its expertise to strengthen the ministry’s digitalisation initiatives in the aspects of stability of services, cybersecurity and user experience. The five JPD members will serve pro bono, at no cost to the government.
The committee will be chaired by Datuk Mohamed Sharil Tarmizi, who was chairman and CEO of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) from 2011 to 2014. Chu Hong Keong has over 30 years of experience in banking and telecommunication industries, working in strategy and transformation at an international bank. He was also the MD of a local ICT company.
Datuk Dr Suhazimah Dzazali was in the public service for 35 years until 2020. She played a key role in the development of the Pelan Strategik ICT Sektor Awam 2016-2020 and Pelan Strategik Pendigitalan Sektor Awam 2021-2025. Fong Choong Fook is the executive chairman of LGMS Berhad, a listed cybersecurity company. Afzal Abdul Rahim is the ‘Commander-In-Chief’ of TIMEdotCom and founder of the Malaysian Internet Exchange (MyIX).
JPD sat for the first time yesterday with transport minister Anthony Loke, who last month announced a switch to digital road tax and lesen. “With digitalisation, we can reduce the traffic in JPJ offices by around 80%, because out of the total, 80% of renewals are for private vehicles. For the public, the savings will be with time,” he said last month.

Better make sure it is legitimate and worthwhile people selected into the group what we now know is that this Transport HuuuHa bosses just sit down for 20 of years getting fat pays and yet does nothing even trans that are expired are still being used despite huge allocation.
And when problems happen just show foreigners come and help to do their work – Brillant isn’t it such a simple task to just offload problem and hoping no problem arises while enjoying money from tax payers and giving them the headache at the same time.
More shiok sendri projects by this fella who cares more about his image than actually doing HIS JOB as Transport Minister. He never learn his mistake from his previous stint and he never learn how to be an effective Transport Minister from Dr Wee. What a pity this joker got hired back.
yea right, sohai to compare a useless shit that only contribution is brought his eggs to parliament.
Just wonder what wks had done in his tenure as transport minister. So just be objective, don’t be a person others hate.
another syok sendiri initiative by AL… fix the chronic traffic jam and crumbling public transportation dulu la… trains breakdown, massive delays, congestion and so much more… can digitalisation ease the mass movement of people seamlessly from point A to point B?
Calm down, it’s going to take some time to unwind the chronic damage done by the previous administrations. Our issues weren’t created in a year, it took 66 years of ineptitude.
It only took 1 year for Dr Wee to unwind the damages done by Loke’s 22 months of ineptitude but Loke don’t need 66 years to be this bad, he is just BAD.
LOL what multiverse are you from
Dr Wee has solved:
traffic congestion X
public transport issues X
teksi sapu in the smaller towns X
MAHB’s issues X
missing MH370 X
road tax regularisation X
supercars and illegal plates X
lanes for motorcycles X
Yeah he is so good la!
Don’t worry Dr Wee and AL is same team now to govern the country.
Sureeeely they can brain storm and share idea behind the scene if they really want to do it right? Problem is, is it worth their efforts to do so? *Wink wink*
Superb initiative Minister of Transport, yes this will reduce traffic at JPJ’s offices throughout Msia and also save ppl time/productivity. all transactions can be done thru ICT instead of having to go to JPJ’s offices. JPJ’s staff can focus on value added work instead of manning the counters
Good initiative but need to look from the whole perspective not from one angle only. just experience that we called digital roadtax and license. as mention by AL, user did not have to install the apps but the executor which refer to JPJ did not equip with equipment to check the roadtax. they need to use personal phone to check it. wasting my 15-20min of my time to check the roadtax.
Good initiative but poor executions. sighhhhhh~
Digitalisaton? but why Mysikap system making a U turn…now whoever need to register mysikap need to go JPJ to get the Nombor Rujukan personally then how to reduce the traffic in JPJ…MOT please look into this matter…
