MyJPJ app downloaded almost three million times, says JPJ

KOTA BARU: A total of 2.971 users have downloaded the MyJPJ app and registered themselves since it was introduced on Feb 10, says Road Transport Department (JPJ) director-general Datuk Zailani Hashim.

He said JPJ's effort in promoting the app among vehicle owners was going well.

"Right now we want the public to familiarise themselves with MyJPJ digital and by the middle of this year the application will be upgraded to show and renew their licences," he said at a press conference after a buka puasa event with 40 orphans and the needy, which was also attended by Kelantan JPJ director Mohd Misuari Abdullah, here on Saturday (April 8) night.

"We will use the Smart Management Enforcement Device (SMED) for those who have issues with Internet coverage or don't own a telephone.

"For drivers who have problems displaying their driving licence and digital road tax, we will use the SMED by registering their identity (ID) to access licences and road tax digitally," he said.

Meanwhile, Zailani said leave for its enforcement personnel would be frozen to carry out monitoring duties before, during and after Hari Raya Aidilfitri to ensure road users abide by the road rules to prevent accidents.

He advised road users to plan their trip, especially those returning to Kelantan where congestion is expected to occur in Gua Musang due to a road closure to make way for construction works for the Lingkaran Tengah Utama Expressway.
