KOTA BARU – A total of 2.971 million vehicle owners have downloaded the MyJPJ application and registered through it since the app was introduced on February 10, says Road Transport Department (RTD) director-general Datuk Zailani Hashim.
He said RTD’s efforts in promoting the application among vehicle owners were going well.
“Right now, we want the public to familiarise themselves with MyJPJ digital and, by the middle of this year, the application will be upgraded to show and renew their licence,” he said.
He said this at a press conference after a breaking fast event with 40 orphans and asnaf (eligible to receive zakat), which was also attended by the Kelantan RTD director Mohd Misuari Abdullah, here last night.
“We will use the Smart Management Enforcement Device (SMED) for those who have issues with internet coverage or don’t own a telephone.
“For drivers who have problems displaying their driving licence and digital road tax, we will use the SMED by registering their identity to access licences and road tax digitally,” he said.
Meanwhile, Zailani said leave for its enforcement personnel would be frozen to carry out monitoring duties to be conducted before, during and after Hari Raya Aidilfitri to ensure road users abide by the rules to prevent accidents.
He advised road users to plan their trip, especially those returning to Kelantan, where congestion is expected to occur in Gua Musang due to a road closure to make way for construction work for the Lingkaran Tengah Utama Expressway. – Bernama, April 9, 2023
