: Enforcement action will still be taken against any individual who commits a traffic offence even if his or her driving licence has been renewed for a period of 10 years, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew FookHe said the Road Transport Department had a system capable of detecting offenders, and actions such as licence suspension or revocation for certain offences will still be carried out.

“If they commit an offence such as a crash case, their licence will still be suspended, it does not mean that if the licence holder has already paid it will not be suspended,“ he said during a visit to the Seremban JPJ branch. “You’ll only pay RM270 instead of RM300. That’s a new policy we’re introducing to make it easier for people. I had received a lot of feedback and requests from the public to extend the maximum renewal period for driving licences,“ he said.

“We know there are attempts to get information from insiders and so on, JPJ will continue to strengthen integrity. The tonto issue is indeed one that plagues the JPJ.
