JPJ says renew driving licences before June 30 or take test again

PUTRAJAYA: Vehicle owners holding Malaysian driving licences, who have been given an extension of validity period and whose licence had expired from Jan 13, 2021, must renew their licences before June 30 so that they do not have to retake the driving test, says Datuk Zailani Hashim.

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) director-general said the deadline involves those with learners’ driving licences, provisional driving licences, competent driving licences and vocational driving licences through the exemption under Rule 19 of the Motor Vehicle Rules (Drivers’ Licence) 1992, he said.
