Gomen no money after GST abolished, so Loke is doing everything he can to help.

Remember, he actively sells car number plates?

Loke is very hardworking. No doubt about that. But don't expect him to do something big.

As I said before, he only picks the low hanging fruits.

Better u terus get local license from overseas saja .

why this website (not jpj official website) mentioned that you need to surrender LMM to change to idp?

last time i wanted to drive at aus, they told me just do license translation which cost me rm20 only iirc.
then i wanted to drive at japan and needed idp for rm150/year.

if what u said is true, does that means i got conned by jpj?
an idp is just a translation to our LMM?

Yup you got conned. Jpj happy to take money from you if you want to give.
I already did idp many times never surrender malaysia driving license also.

how about the time i only had to pay rm20 for translation to drive at australia? what's that compared to idp since both literally just translation?

Don't know what you pay for.
Got picture of it?

As you can see in that thread k resident Aussie expert all say no need idp or translation.

All the while like this lah.

No need if you goto visit Singapork, Thaimoi, Muricunt, Cuntnada etc.

Other places you may need to apply for Internal Driving License (if they recognize).

Or you can't drive at all if they do not recognize internal driving license.

lesen expires in 2025.
paid RM240 to extend additional 8yrs in JPJ UTC Komtar.

Walked in to JPJ itself because i was hoping to get new complete license card, but instead get a card slip that I have to laminate myself.

Now you are telling me that I am supposed tonpay RM20 to get proper license card instead of that card slip?

Not only that it was a letdown back then. Now with this new information, I am totally triple disappointed.

Boo, Anthony. Booooooo.

Can feel you.
Madani keep squeezing money from the rakyat.
However, talking here won't be useful... need to go to the anthony directly. hope he will hear and solve it.

that was long time ago when we still use the laminated license lol.
i tried to find the information but seems like it is irrelevant now

What type of foreigners? Those without permits, hence not able to open accounts?

Are these types of foreigners able to open US bank accounts easily?

500,000 Malaysian driving to SG
500,000 Malaysian driving to Thailand/Brunei/Indonesia
100,000 Malaysian driving in US/EU/AUS/NZ

Previously our old physical driving license is valid in those countries but now will need to pay extra RM20

That an extra income for MOT.

Malaysian now needs to unlock their smartphone which contains P&C info for Police/JPJ checking..

Malaysian now needs to hand over their IC to pak guard when visiting condo/gated community. Since there no more physical driving license. IC information/copy can be used to register for Apps login, loan shark & etc

Previous MOT minister improved our local driving license features until it was recognised by many foreign countries
... helping the people to save costs BUT this Anthony Loke regress n removed those features...now either we pay extra RM20 or get the RM150 IDP. to get those very same features.

Lol

The old laminated license was BM only, and hence needed to be translated before it could be used in Aus.

When they moved to the physical card, it became dual-language and valid for use in Aus.

but if idp only for translation, then would we need to translate again?

That one long time ago in BM. We switch to the new one in with English to ease these issues.
That is why a lot of people say going backwards.

that means our license valid for oversea use and no need idp already right since u said it just translate our license?
exception maybe some countries require idp like japan perhaps

Yes in theory should be good enough. But I guess every country has their own requirements so just follow aje la.

Nope. I've driven in Perth and Melbourne for years with the card license, not laminated. Know shitloads of Malaysians who do also.

Many officers in Perth know how to read our DOB on our license.

card license? as in the new card license that's like credit card?
