Starting from today, private vehicles will not need to display their road tax (vehicle license).
There have been many shake-ups in Malaysia when it comes to laws regarding vehicles, but the just in announcement by Transport Minister Anthony Loke about private vehicles not needing to display their road tax must be one of the most significant changes we have ever seen.
It was announced that starting today, Malaysians no longer need to display their road tax on their private vehicles.
Anthony Loke stated that this move is part of the ministry's efforts to digitise services offered by the Road Transport Department (JPJ), particularly for motor vehicle and driving licenses.
He added that Section 20 of the Road Transport Act, which mandates the display of motor vehicle licenses, will no longer be enforced.
“This implementation will be done gradually, with the first phase covering individual private vehicles and motorcycles owned by Malaysians,” he said to the media at a press conference today.
Details of how officials will identify how private cars have been taxed is still undisclosed, but we're sure more is to come in the coming hours if not days.
