Enough road tax disks nationwide, says JPJ

By BERNAMA | 3 February 2021


PUTRAJAYA: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has assured the public of sufficient supply of Motor Vehicle Licence disks to cater for customer transactions nationwide.

In a statement issued today, the department said the supply is adequate to meet customers’ request at its branch offices, Pos Malaysia counters, MyEG and through the Computerised Vehicle Inspection Centre (Puspakom).

"JPJ, with the cooperation of the LKM disk supplier has sent a supply of 1,145,000 pieces of the LKM disks to the JPJ branches, Pos Malaysia, MyEG and Puspakom in January 2021 and an additional 420,000 pieces recently to avoid any shortage,” it said.

This followed an online Chineses news report on Feb 1 that claimed there was a shortage of vehicle road tax disks and that it had resulted in car dealers losing business during the Chinese New Year sales period.

On a related matter, JPJ is advising customers to carry out online transactions, instead of going to the counters to avoid crowding amid a pandemic.
