Loke told the Dewan Rakyat that this is in response to complaints from the public, as some still prefer to use physical driving licences and road tax.
A NEW initiative will be introduced next year for those who wish to obtain physical driving licences and road tax, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
According to reports in The New Straits Times, he told the Dewan Rakyat that this is in response to complaints from the public, as some still prefer to use physical driving licences and road tax.
"Next year we will announce an initiative for anyone who wishes to print their licence physically and they may need to pay for the printing," he said in response to Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh (PH-Ledang).
Loke, however, did not elaborate further on the charges that will be imposed.
On another matter, he said the employee who was seen punching a foreigner at KLIA’s “not to land” (NTL) zone has been suspended from duty.
He said the employee is from AeroDarat Services Sdn Bhd, a company engaged to manage the NTL area.
“The man had already been suspended and slapped with a show cause letter while awaiting a full investigation from the management,” he said.
On a recent incident where a teenage boy was killed after being electrocuted while charging his phone on an express bus, Loke said the incident was due to faulty electrical wiring.
He said that the wiring on the bus was improperly connected, causing a fatal electrical surge when the teenager plugged in his phone.
"During inspections of other buses from the company, investigators found similar wiring issues on another bus, prompting the suspension of the operator’s entire fleet.
"Following this incident, the ministry and relevant authorities are working to establish proper guidelines for electrical and wiring systems on buses," he added. - November 20, 2024

"... physical driving licences and road tax"???
What ever happened to "hard copies"?
Becoming more ass by the day, didn't we paid for it already? Makin lama makin kerajaan awang-awangan...
ReplyDeleteAnyone who has renewed or obtained a new Driving License and/or car Road Tax since early this year no longer has an official hard copy.
ReplyDeleteYou can go into the MyJPJ App and Print Out a physical copy , but it's nit an official copy.
Given the many complaints in Malaysia of police or JPJ officers abusing their powers or "Cari Makan" , motorists who only have softcover of their Driving License and Road Tax feel exposed to being pulled over and subject to threats by such officials.
