MyLesen B2 license assistance programme launched – RM2.7m allocation for 9k people from the B40 group

Transport minister Anthony Loke and minister of home affairs Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution launched the national level MyLesen B2 programme in Sungai Petani, Kedah yesterday.

The MyLesen B2 programme is a government initiative to offer 9,000 people from the B40 group assistance in obtaining the B2 class motorcycle license. RM2.7 million has been allocated for this purpose under Budget 2023, and the cost of tests and lessons is RM300 per candidate.

The Sungai Petani event saw the first batch of 306 candidates from the B40 group, students, OKU and special needs students taking part.

Loke said that the government intends to expand the MyLesen programme to include the public service vehicle (PSV) license and Class E license for buses.

  • You think these B40 will appreciate this? What is lesen when they have been happily riding without one all these while?
    What the B40 really appreciate is KWSP withdrawal. Easy money…

  • For OKU and special needs students I can agree but for perfectly normal B40 that is really unnecessary.

    Based on some of the earlier comments here, it appears that there are some who believe that the students, OKU and special needs students, do not deserve some government assistance.

    My suggestion is to just have undang test for B2 license. The rest of the “course” test doesn’t really help much in real world riding, let alone any coaching involved by the operators.
    Just know the traffics rules… then there you go.
    As it is, people are allowed to ride on the road anyway with a L license.
