SEREMBAN, June 24 — Driving institutes (IM) involved in illegal “kopi O” driving licence syndicates risk immediate revocation of their operating licences, Transport Minister Anthony Loke warned today. Emphasizing the dangers such corrupt activities pose to road users, particularly youth, Loke called for an end to these practices during his speech at the RDS Driving Academy’s 10th-anniversary celebration.
The minister highlighted the electronic driving test system (eTesting) as a proactive measure to combat corruption within the industry, urging driving institutes to familiarise themselves with the system before its mandatory implementation in 2030. “The ministry is committed to implementing eTesting to ensure a system with greater integrity,” he said, adding that several applications from driving institutes for eTesting are currently being processed, with approval letters for the first batch expected soon.
