The road transport department (JPJ) will continue to strengthen its advocacy programme on the importance of motorists and motorcyclists having valid licenses, especially school students, Bernama has reported.
This effort will include getting 23,000 individuals aged between 16 to 35 to get their driving licenses within a six-month period, and this will include students who ride motorcycles to school with a license, JPJ director-general Datuk Rospiagus Taha said.
“We will not take legal action because we are in the advocacy phase and at the same time, we also understand the constraints facing students who need to ride motorcycles to get to school. As for parents who allow their children to ride motorcycles or drive without a license, we will also focus on advocacy,” the JPJ director-general said.
A systematic and targeted advocacy approach would help raise public awareness of the need to have a valid driving license to drive or ride motor vehicles, Rospiagus said.
The JPJ director-general added that he is optimistic that programmes such as the JPJ Cadet Camp, which involved the participation of school students, would have an impact on young people about the importance of having a valid license to ride or drive, and of obeying road rules and regulations.

WTH.. Instead of punishing offenders and encouraging them to be law abiding citizens.. Dafaq is this???
Still got 6 months ar? These people should be charged like yesterday.
All these ahlokekor’s macai..a bunch of clowns.
The soft approach doesnt work.
Just enforce existing laws.
WTF?!! These people clearly had no regard for the law by driving around without a license in the first place. Now we’re going to to legalize them?
Where in Kuching city is your counter?
Apa nih?! When there are too many law breakers, this is the boleh-land way. Indirectly advocating this kind of behaviour. We are teaching/educating our younger generations the opposite way. Continue like this, folks won’t just give a damn about laws. Break too many…no worries then. There will be these kind of programs to legalize them again and again. It just make those law abiding citizens looks like fools.
advocacy?…why…they have money to modify the bikes and install noisy exhaust pipes but have no money for license!!..
Step down when your brain is dead.
Not fair to law abiding ppl. & Encourage those law breakers to continue ignoring the rules! Sometimes, cant understand the logic…Just like the subsidise issue, u study & work hard to move up to T20, and contribute higher tax, but dont get any benefit compare to b40? Strange..sigh..cant understand anymore..Maybe just bcome 1 of them will live easier.
