Police, JPJ have road tax-checking devices – Loke

Police and Road Transport Department (JPJ) personnel are equipped to electronically check road tax validity by entering the vehicle’s number plate into their devices, transport minister Anthony Loke has said, according to The Star.

“Police or JPJ no longer look at or check the road tax sticker in the car. There is no need to physically check,” Loke told the Dewan Rakyat today in response to Hulu Selangor MP Mohd Hasnizan Harun’s question about elderly motorists, who may have trouble showing their digital road tax to enforcers.

Loke also said 13.7 million people have downloaded the MyJPJ app to date, while 10.7 million have registered for a JPJ electronic ID.

“This means that there should be at least 10 million individuals using the MyJPJ app,” he said, adding the ministry will not slow down its digitalisation efforts, in line with the nation’s direction.
