The General Insurance Association of Malaysia (PIAM) has issued a statement in support of the digitalisation of road tax and driver’s license documents in Malaysia, and said that the move would bring “positive impact” not only to policyholders, but also to the environment.
This follows the announcement by transport minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook last month that it is no longer mandatory to display a road tax sticker on the windscreen of one’s vehicle, effective February 10, 2023. This has been facilitated by availability of moving to the digital road tax and driver’s license documents via the JPJ public portal or the MyJPJ mobile app.
According to PIAM, digitalisation is effective in its positive effect on the environment through the reduction of paper waste, as vehicle owners will no longer be strictly required to use road tax stickers for display purposes. Additionally, the move is also cost-effective as it reduces the need for the physical document to be delivered, that way removing the delivery charges involved.
Digitalisation of driver’s licenses also give drivers the option of travelling freely without having to carry the physical license, as the document can now be accessed by digital means, and the digitalisation initiative would overall benefit both the general public as well as the environment, PIAM said in its statement.

So passing the saving to customers?
Yes, you dont have to drive to post office and renew, you dont have to pay for delivery fee for the renewal,. So it is “passing the saving to customers” . ya
You have not even solved the clone car issues which is becoming more rampant. Now you’re only making things worst
Do you even understand what digital plate is suppose to do? This is the right direction to solve clone car issue. Harder to clone the RFID tag. And when more automated RFID scanner installed, it’s easier to detect 2 cars with same registration at 2 different location. I really hope Anthony Loke can implement this successfully.
If you don’t know how things work, just keep quiet bro.
Kindly make sure there digitized system is super strong shield against hackers and redundancy blackouts offline ok
Useless fella. Pls bring back the previous TM. At least he did work and not just do publicity stunts after stunts.
previous Mca minister had 2 stints as TM yet he did nothing. After become jobless then start barking like a mad dog about implementing standardised plates.
