The transport ministry (MoT) via JPJ has added 10,000 new slots for the MyLesen B2 programme, which offers free B2 motorcycle licenses. The cost for each license is RM350, and the government has allocated another RM3.5 million for the programme this year.
Transport minister Anthony Loke said that 14,581 participants or 97% of the original quota of 15,000 have been used up by youths in the first six months of 2025. “We’ll add 10,000 to the quota starting middle of this year nationwide. The cost for each license is RM350, fully covered by the ministry,” he said in Seremban yesterday, reported by Bernama.
Loke, who is also Seremban MP, said that the MyLesen B2 programme is the government’s commitment to assist the B40 group to improve their socioeconomic level and household income via job opportunities, especially through the gig economy. It’s also an effort to produce riders who are competent and safe on the roads.
The MoT minister urged schools to help identify students riding motorcycles without licenses, and channel them to the programme. He also hoped that youths who obtained their license through the MyLesen B2 programme can be road safety ambassadors, spreading the message of following regulations and being prudent and responsible riders.

But where this money coming from?
Problem is not the money, just government giving them free but most importantly is they go through classes including learning safety aspects and passes the exams.
