The road transport department‘s (JPJ) revenue collection this year has already surpassed last year’s, with an expected increase of 3-5% by year-end, Bernama reports.
“So far, our collection has reached and exceeded the target compared to last year. Usually, an increase of around 3-5% is recorded every year,” JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli told the media yesterday, adding that the final figure will be announced by year-end.
JPJ is Malaysia’s third-highest revenue collector after the Royal Malaysian Customs (Kastam) and the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN). It collects road tax, vehicle registration fees, revenue from number plates both standard and special, saman, fees for issuing and renewing driving licences, vehicle ownership transfer fees and more.
RM4.09 billion in 2017, RM4.23 billion in 2018, RM4.32 billion in 2019, RM4 billion in 2021, RM4.89 billion in 2022 and RM5.07 billion in 2023 – as JPJ blows out 80 candles on its birthday cake next year, what do you think the final 2025 revenue will be?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
One common violation many car owners make is to put sticker, write, draw or stick emblems on the vehicle number plate. JPJ can make a lot of money by giving saman. This include Lawyer association and also Jaksa Pendamai. And also Dato Association. All wrong. Refer to Transport Act
I never knew that! Crests and badges for Datuks are illegal, thanks for pointing that out.
Further digging however says that lawyer badges are not illegal *if* they do not onbstruct the number plate.
Collecting revenue should not be JPJ nor any government entities concerns. Stupid jpj director
collecting money is literally one of jpj their core function no?
Should solve road maniac issue first.
Loke doesnt care about road safety his priority is to sell more number plates.
Betcha majority comes from Loke special number plate sales. He should resign as transport minister and just sell number plates lah!
in fact Loke can multitask as transport minister, and still sell number plates so should we pay him two salaries
most gomen entities do collected revennue be it at the federal or district level. to deny that is denying reality.
Make sure no discount given. Later u-turn lagi.
