KUCHING, Feb 10: Starting today, private vehicle owners are no longer required to display their Malaysian Vehicle Licence (LKM), better known as ‘road tax’, on their windscreens.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said private vehicle owners no longer have to carry a physical copy of their Malaysian Driving Licence (LMM).
He said the two licences would be made available on a digital platform via the MyJPJ application, which is part of the ministry’s effort to digitise services offered by the Road Transport Department (JPJ).
According to a news report by New Straits Times, Loke said the provision under Section 20 of the Act Road Transport 1987 (Act 333), where “every LKM shall be affixed and displayed on the vehicle in question”, will no longer be enforced.
He also said the exception would be gazetted under the authority given to the Transport Ministry under Section 127(1)(b) of the Transport Act.
He added that those who are not ready to move into the digital platform could continue to use physical LMM and LKM. — Dayakdaily
