Rumour that senior citizens must surrender driving licence not true, says Dr Wee


PETALING JAYA: Information circulating online claiming that individuals aged 70 and up need to surrender their driving license to the Road Transport Department (JPJ) is false, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (pic).

“Actually, Section 30 of the Road Transport Act 1987 allows drivers to voluntarily surrender their license due to unsatisfactory health conditions which may endanger other road users,” said the Transport Minister in a Facebook post on Sunday (Sept 26).
