However, he did not specify the exact amount of the prospective fee.
“Next year, we will announce an initiative for those who still want to print their physical licences. There may be a charge for printing the physical cards,” he told the Dewan Rakyat today.
Loke also reiterated that digitalisation efforts within the road transport department (JPJ) would continue, with further improvements to enhance the system.
Loke said over one million transactions for road tax and licence renewals had been completed through the MyJPJ app since its launch two years ago.
“As of Oct 31, the (revenue collected) via MyJPJ had reached nearly RM121 million,” he said.
“The app’s usage has significantly contributed to improving efficiency for the public and the department, and there has certainly been savings in terms of printing costs.”
In February last year, Loke announced that physical road tax stickers would no longer be required for display on privately owned vehicles, as part of the ministry’s ongoing efforts to digitise JPJ’s services.
In January this year, he said MyJPJ app users could share their digital road tax with others using the new “Kongsi LKM” function.
In response to a question from Hasnizan Harun (PN-Hulu Selangor) about measures to remind vehicle owners to renew their road tax, Loke said the MyJPJ app would soon include a notification feature for users.
“This feature will be launched once it is fully developed and ready for use,” he said.
