I went to JPJ this morning. think got 20-30 pax rider plan to complete the AH thingy. Guess what, none of them got through. Here are the stupid hurdles as mentioned by the officer who handles our request;
1. They cant process those with daily insurance. Only annual insurance is accepted - for now.
2. Even if you got EVP, if APAD didn't or haven't updated in the system, JPJ unable to process your AH request.
3. Even if you got Puspakom certified, if PUSPAKOM did not update in the system, JPJ still cannot process your request.
4. Your Puspakom certification is invalid if it was approved more than 30 days ago. Yes, they ask you to redo the Puspakom inspection all over again, since changing code to AH for a car more than 3 years old requires a "fresh" Puspakom inspection. The rationale that they give was this is normal practice for the taxi industry and every request to change code like AH must be accompanied with valid/recent Puspakom approval. Mine was clearly valid till May 2020 but they didn't accept as ask to redo the Puspakom inspection all over again since its already expired.
5. JPJ counters don't even have JPJ-EH1 form. They ask you to print and fill up yourself. Crazy!
That's all for now, I give up and just go back like most of the drivers today. Clearly, this is time-consuming and wastage lots of drivers' money.
If you ask me, I think those who plan to meet up a minister or "mogok" on 10th or 11th (Sorry forgot already) does have a valid point because otherwise, things are just going to get worse from now on.
ps/ Did I mentioned that the update on both APAD/PUSPAKOM is not made automatically? No one knows how long these ppl will take to update the system. SO good
