According to Transport Minister Anthony Loke, online payment for the renewal of the Motor Vehicle Licence (LKM) and Malaysian Driving Licence (LMM) will be announced following the completion of the Proof of Concept (POC) implementation.

This is to ensure a smooth system launch on the MyJPJ application and to keep it from crashing due to significant traffic. The department previously reported that about three million people have downloaded the app, which is required to access the digital versions of the road tax and driving licence.

Loke stated that the ministry had not yet established a deadline for the complete switchover to the e-LKM and that car owners might still choose to utilise the physical road tax. Only 30% of car owners, according to JPJ data, have so far chosen to pay the digital road tax.

Vehicle owners can still apply for a hard copy of their licence and road tax since it will take time for individuals to adapt to a digital copy. If the people wish to drive in a nation that needs a physical licence, they may still ask for one at RTD counters while renewing their licence because the ministry has not ceased issuing them.

Loke stated that this online payment system through the MyJPJ application will be launched in a few months.
