Digital road tax and driver licenses in Malaysia are here to stay, and the transport ministry will not be reviewing their implementation despite calls from certain parties to do so, said transport minister Anthony Loke according to New Straits Times.
“Digitalisation will continue. This doesn’t mean the road tax and license cannot be printed, you can print it yourself. If you want to enter Thailand which requires a physical road tax and licence, just print it, it is not difficult,” the transport minister said.
“There will be no more reviews. The digital road tax will be maintained. If people want to drive overseas, for example to Thailand which may require your physical road tax, just print it out. It should not be an issue,” Loke said when asked if the government would review the digital road tax policy after its implementation, according to The Star.
While the digital driving license and road tax documents are being used within Malaysia, motorists who intend to drive in other countries still need a physical copy of the documents.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
when police do road block, ask the police to check on their own system. don’t put the burden on motorist to show proof.
Pulis nvr check rotek & lesen nowadays. They more interested to ask you wind down your window, stick their head in & ask encik dari mana nak pergi mana? Like if I’m right dislike if I’m wrong
why not? who are u to turn down police request?
ikr..people act like showing license and roadtax a burden, only take 5 min max lmao..just
So there is a G2G understanding for this to be accepted in Thailand/Singapore/Brunei? Or kena denda dulu and then what?
Kalo ikut style LHDN memang kena bayar dulu pastu rayu. Kalo lepas, dorang refund. Kalo tak, burn la duit ngko.
I wanted to rent a car in the UK not long ago but they did not accept digital driving licence. My deposit paid online burnt just like that because not their ‘fault’. Be careful everybody.
Your own fault for assuming your digital lesen is accepted in other countries
ermm, it is definitely not their “fault” so u dont need to “”. going into another country is up to the visitor responsibility to check.
All go digital but normal police will dont have the ability to check the online roadtax. Get scolding from them for not printing and keep a copy in car. If implement a system, ensure enforcement are given the right device to monitor.
Your own fault for not downloading MyJayPigJay app on your phone & assuming the pulis has such a system. They can’t even implement bodycams wanna ask them have their own system to check your lesen? LOL
I work in Singapore, and I need my PHYSICAL driving license to drive. Just to share a personal story, JPJ counter in UTC directed me to JPJ Wangsa Maju to ask for license. When I show my proof of employment, they mentioned that they don’t recognise it as an ‘OFFICIAL DOCUMENT’, they only accept flight tickets, hotel bookings as ‘OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS’. So do I have to book one night of Hotel or fly back to Singapore just to request for physical license?
Exactly. It is none of JPJ’s business what you are doing overseas. Immigration lain cerita. Why the over reach by JPJ and why do they keep persisting with this? JPJ and MOT muscling in on Home Ministry and Foreign Affairs Ministry territory ah?
Mr.Loke. our problem is with the enforcement officers who are not equipped with the right tools. You implement that first ya.
After the recent myDigital ID shenanigan, I’m unable to login to myJPJ app anymore.
All talk but when roadblock the police become dumb af
This guy is a pain
he is one of the few brave enough to push malaysia forward. without visionary like him we would still be stuck in the stone age
As above
On paper ya go digital …
But actually spend money to create a problem that we did not have… solve a problem that wasn’t there.
Jpj offices serve runners more than rakyat, all this buat tak tau. Just tell me why this bunch of gomen servants need a pay rise? Now everything I have to self service, they do less right? Why still need to wait when go JPJ?
Conclusion from all comments above and below.
Crooks Criminals hates despises the already implemented digital license and private vehicle digital road-tax hindering their hanky panky activities
On the contrary, criminals LOVE YB Loke, the most useless MOT ever.
– Thanks to him permitting pitch black tints for all windows and windshields without enforcement, lately the cases of human trafficking, fuel smuggling, drug smuggling and even kidnappings have gone up. Look at every single one of the vehicles in the pictures and videos of these news – they’re all tinted pitch-black all round
– Thanks to the lack of physical licenses, road tax stickers etc these days, vehicle cloning is on the rise. Stolen vehicles being driven around with fake number plates and no other identifer on the windshields are also becoming common. With a physical road tax sticker, any cop can immediately see at a glance if the road tax sticker tallies with the installed number plate.
Geram do leelah
We gave you many thumbs down
well said. digitalised is the future, like it or not. these people might as well complain why banks use Internet banking instead of remaining physical branches and ATMs ,cash, cheque
Jalan raya berlubang seluruh malaysia bila nak repair. Ada check tak.
I don’t have smart phone..then how?
just print ur license and roadtax la.. common sense,if cop dont believe go to court, no time to do that dont drive ride grab,uber,taxi,public transport
How to print from myjpj?
do an additional “print” option in my JPJ app. Therefore we can print ourselves
Implement with correct thought in mind . Your police officer or jpj officer make sure they have the right tool to check .. they cannt be asking us to show proof or show the apps … That is not our job . They need to validate this beyond reasonable doubt
Apa nak buat jika telepon rosak
Menteri terlebih confident, apa masalah kalau kekal kan roadtax yang lama simple je, digital juga bagus problem bila tiba² your phone problem,line problem so refer je kat fizikal roadtax, banyak benda lagi yang boleh difikirkan bab safety road kat Malaysia yang perlu diutamakan banyak kenderaan berat memandu secara tidak selamat, bawa lebih had muatan, upgrade safety issues more important
