Transport Minister Anthony Loke is actively engaging with his Brunei’s counterpart to recognise Malaysia’s digital road tax and license system.
Loke stated that discussions on this initiative have already commenced with the neighbouring country, according to The Borneo Post.
He stated that the Ministry is committed to working collaboratively with Brunei to enhance border movement between Miri and Brunei.
Loke reassured Mirians that efforts are underway to secure recognition from Brunei’s Transport Ministry for the new digital road tax and license system.
He highlighted the significance of this recognition for fostering tourism development, as frequent border crossings between Brunei and Miri influence it significantly.
Furthermore, Loke stressed the importance of digitalisation in ASEAN nations, advocating for collective efforts to advance together.
Addressing issues faced by individuals seeking physical road tax, Loke attributed the problems to ground-level miscommunication, affirming that instructions have been issued to all states’ Road Transport Department (JPJ) to print physical road tax upon client requests.
Regarding MyJPJ account complications, Loke clarified that issues often revolve around user passwords, necessitating periodic resets. Efforts are ongoing to enhance the system, ensuring a seamless experience for users.
