PUTRAJAYA, February 10 – Transport Minister Anthony Loke said effective today, it is no longer compulsory to display road tax stickers on private vehicles owned by Malaysians as the government moves towards digitalising services provided by the Road Transport Department after received various responses from the public regarding the motor vehicle license sticker and the difficulties that have been raised. He said using the MyJPJ application, drivers can now just show or screenshot their online data instead of having the physical road tax stickers on their vehicles.
From 10 February 2023, private vehicle owners who are citizens can use the LKM Digital (e-LKM) and LMM Digital (e-LMM) display modes through the JPJ Public Portal or MyJPJ Mobile Application under a pilot project (in-house). Similarly, a motorist’s driving licence can also be accessed using the app. This initiative will be implemented in stages, with the first phase involving individual private vehicles, including motorcycles taking into account system readiness and public acceptance of its implementation before expanding its implementation to the next phases.
Which is in line with this initiative, the provision under Section 20 of the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333) where each vehicle registration must be affixed and displayed on the relevant vehicle” will no longer be enforced for the category of owners under the first phase. This exemption will be gazetted under the authority given to the Minister of Transport under Section 127 (1) (b) of the Road Transport Act 1987. This exemption will be gazetted under the authority given to the Minister of Transport under Section 127(1)(b) of the Road Transport Act 1987
I welcome all drivers and vehicle owners to join the digital platform,” he said during a special press conference with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and the police today. However, vehicles registered for e-hailing services, goods and company services will still have to adhere to the normal procedures for now. For drivers and vehicle owners who are not yet ready, you can still obtain and maintain the practice of displaying the sticker and using the physical card in the interim period.
