After the start of the licence conversion for Malaysian B2 motorcycle licence holders, JPJ has relaxed a requirement. Previously, applicants for the licence conversion were required to have held a valid B2 licence for 10 years consecutively.
However, the condition has been relaxed with immediate effect, with licence holders now having only to have held a B2 licence for 10 years or more, without having the period be consecutive. According to JPJ Director-General Aedy Fadly Ramli this was done is response to feedback from the public.
Aedy said that during the MCO period from 2020 to 2022, many were unable to renew their B2 licence, along with the exemption granted to all licence holders from renewal during that period. Saying the excuse was reasonable, a decision was made to relax the requirement, with all other conditions remaining unchanged.
Meanwhile, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said updates to the B2 to B Full licence conversion will be made to ensure more applicants are eligible. “We are implementing this system change immediately to make it easier for the public. We ask for patience, and within a few days, applicants can participate in the programme at the involved deriving institutes,” said Loke in a Bernama report.
look dont bother to do enforcement, just sell the license and numbers
Yay! More accidents from big bikers soon as they werent ready to handle them. More business for me
I hate these fkin bikers zooming on purpose around residencial areas midnight till morning. Ppl need to sleep. I hope you holes got a one way fast lane ticket to hell soon.
Frustrating! First it says not eligible, maybe due to non consecutive 10 years. After Anthony ruled that it does not need to be non consecutive, status chnged to Eligible for upgrade. When I opened myJPJ today, to my shock and frustrations, status said NOT ELIGIBLE AS THERE WAS NO TRANSACTION I RECORD OF CDL/CLASS B!!! Wth I’m 57 this year and I’ve held my license since I was 17 yo, took the the driving test legit and paid for it, now they are saying no transaction record?? Where did my record go? They lost it in the digitalization process or it’s just plain bad implementation and incompetency? Highly frustrating. I hope @Anthony Loke is reading this and will sort out this mess PLEASE!
Your driving license still have B2 there or gone?
Fake news… He thinks a minister will respond to a paultan comment. … Just putting on a show
I want to know what Anthony Loke is taking. After having my B2 license for many years, I went for my full B and E training and test. The super bike (modified) used in the school and JPJ test has the power of a cub but a few kilo heavier. Then, I rode a Kawa 550 GPZ for few years before getting a Suzuki 1100. I did this because I know the transition has to be gradual so as not to endanger myself not to mention other motorist who share the roads. When this auto license upgrade is implemented, let the blood and lives of those affected by inexperience and incapable riders be in Lokes’ hands and mind. May God save our beloved country.
What is the rationale of easing the rules for full B license? Firstly, why was the rule made to categorise them in the first place? Now this.
Probably to increase the ownership of large motorcycles, hence profiting the big bike sellers. Somehow there is financial gain to be had by the politicians
I give my son the motorcycle to use dairy but he never used now Rotex is expired what I have to do to Renu roadtex
I am in my early 60s and is planning to get a 350cc Chinese scooter for santai2 ride with the missus. Absolutely no plan to go for >500cc sports/super bike. Taking a 650cc clutch bike for a physical test is an overkill esp when I am only upgrading to a 350cc scooter. Can Dato’ Anthony pls consider upping the B2 licence to 350cc or 400cc esp for those intending to ride scooters only.
This should call BA. Only those who go for proper test are B full.
I’m having a B2 license for 35 years, but still not qualified for this “B” license program according to the MYJPJ app.
Is this just another SCAM just to make the government look good ?
Yes full B licence is within reach… Maybe we just created “bikers convoy” holiday trend to compliment cuti cuti Malaysia..
