Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook said among the things that have been simplified is to enable applicants to undergo the course online without the need to attend classes in person as well as completing an hour-long examination. He said Road Transport Department officers were also willing to go to locations specified by e-hailing operators to conduct the scheduled six-hour course for e-hailing drivers nationwide.

“The flexibility has been given and it is up to them to choose which method to finish the six-hour course and one-hour examination,“ he said when asked whether the ministry intended to ease the conditions for e-hailing drivers to obtain a PSV license before enforcement begins on July 12. He was speaking to reporters today after officiating the ‘MyRailtime’ application for smartphone users to get realtime train schedules from Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad . -

New tinted ruling: First error by Transport MinistryLETTER | The matter needs to be re-discussed with the police.  When the world said its an error, but yet MOT said no. That's the 2nd.error actually. It have to backtrack quickly enough before everyone hv adopted the new allowances & sealing the fate/statement. the same excuses can be applied to knives, parangs, helmets, scarves, ski masks, etc which were used in robberies. these items should not be allowed in the market too. the majority of ordinary citizens are penalized for the misdeeds of a few. lorries, vans and buses without rear windows should be banned from the roads too. fyi there are already many cars fitted with blackout tints for decades. they were not the majority involved in accidents.
