KUCHING, May 25: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has announced that it will suspend its online service for vehicle ownership change, effective today, due to complaints received about incidents where vehicle ownership was changed without the registered owners’ knowledge.
In a statement, JPJ director-general Aedy Fadly Ramlisaid that the suspension of its online service includes the public portal, kiosks, and JPJ business partners MyEG and eAuto Sdn Bhd.
“Starting May 25, 2026 (today), all vehicle ownership change matters for individual ownership and private company ownership must be addressed at JPJ counters.
“For individual owners, transactions can be completed on the same day at state JPJ and branch offices. For privately owned companies, the verification and approval process takes between five and seven working days after all required documents have been submitted,” he said.
He added that for the eAuto service provider channel, only transactions under the temporary ownership transfer system (STMS) would continue as usual, whereas the permanent ownership transfer system through the eSerahan Tukar Milik (eSTM) platform has been suspended.
Parties, including used car companies, who wish to carry out these transactions must submit their applications to the state JPJ or branch offices. — DayakDaily
