5,000 helmet quota in exchange programme at 2TM remains amid high interest


KUALA LUMPUR: Despite high demand, the number of helmets available for exchange at the Road Transport Department (JPJ) counter during the Two Years of Madani Government (2TM) Programming will remain at 5,000.

JPJ deputy director-general (Planning and Operation) Datuk Jazmanie Shafawi said the exchange counter was open from 9am to 6pm, with the public lining up as early as 7.30am.

"We have received an overwhelming response, with 2,000 helmets being distributed to motorcyclists.

"Today’s allocation consists of 1,000 helmets in the morning and another 1,000 in the afternoon, but the morning session is expected to run out quickly, as 600 helmets had already been distributed by 10.30 am,” he told reporters on Saturday (Nov 23).

Regarding suggestions to increase the quota, Jazmanie said the quota remains at 5,000 helmets for the 2TM Programme over three days, as JPJ would continue the initiative at future programmes.

"In addition to the helmet exchange counter, we are providing counters for summons checks and payments, road safety advocacy and JPJ system registrations,” he said.

The helmet exchange counter is one of the highlights of the 2TM Programme, themed "Madani di Hati, Rakyat Disantuni", which is taking place at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre for three days until Sunday (Nov 23). – Bernama
