We can. Any JPN office should be able to do it, though some staff may not know how to because of lack of demand/practice.

After putting it in MyKad, you can view it and show it to people anytime anywhere using your smartphone or tablet with an application like this:

Some advantages of doing this are:

- No need to give new photos to JPJ when renewing driving license.
- No need to keep separate driving license cards.
- More sophisticated than paper driving license.

I did it at the JPN office in Setia Tropika, Johor Baru in 2011.

Because the demand has been little, the receptionist did not know which counter I should go to, and directed me to a wrong counter where the staff did the wrong thing. I had to approach the public relations department, and went up and down in the building several times. I was told to go to JPJ, but I said I prefer JPN. Fortunately, the JPN public relations staff knew this service, and finally arranged for me to approach a general-purpose JPN counter, which did it for me at the closing time without a queue number. If I am not wrong, we are supposed to treat it as a normal MyKad application/renewal request, probably no form to fill up, get a queue number, go to the counter, tell the staff what you want, pay the fee, and wait a few minutes for the driving license to be renewed and loaded into MyKad.

If you like, you can try suggesting to JPN to show this procedure clearly at every office. From my experience, the JPN director general is pretty accommodating. She should be able to take appropriate actions, since the suggestion is pretty reasonable. Just that she can be a bit overloaded with other work. I try to avoid making the suggestion myself, because of a potential conflict of interest on my part.

The MPs have been sleeping in the parliament.... They should take note of things happening in the world and pass laws quickly. If parliament sessions have to run past midnight, then do it. They have been paid.

The physical driving license is not an essential piece of document. It is convenient if it is available, but harmless if not carried.
