The JPJ explicitly states the LMM renewal slip can only be used within Malaysia and is not valid overseas. If you intend on driving in a foreign country, you’ll need to visit a JPJ counter to request for a physical card and pay RM20 for it. Similarly, the e-LMM can’t be used in foreign countries, so it looks you’ll have to get the physical card as well.

You’ll need to provide proof and any supporting documents such as travel tickets, an offer letter, a passport or any other relevant documents relating your trip overseas. Certain countries require an international driving permit (IDP), which is another thing you’ll have to pay for.


tldr:
So basically, just to get a physical driving lesen card, just like what we have now, need to go to JPJ office to apply. And whether can get also based on JPJ officer's discretion. On top of that, need to pay RM20 for the card.

not sure about you, feeling that this is a regressive move. More bureaucratic process and at the same time open for chances of power abuse.

IDP is basically a booklet made of manila card with a passport photo pasted on it using normal glue. Name is also handwritten if not mistaken.

Only valid for 1 year and cost RM150

Actually our lesen is quite laku overseas.

USA, UK, Australia, South korea, Taiwan, South east asia, europe, and many more also can use. No need extra IDP

Now still can get physical license, just need to go JPJ office, queue for long hours, then show prove that you going overseas, approval up to officer discretion, pay RM20 on top of the annual renewal fee.

More bureaucracy, means more chance for kopi duit?

Also, important to note that, even in Malaysia, without physical license, it is driver's responsibility to show the digital license in JPJ app with your phone when requested by JPJ/polis. Failure to produce the said documents is a criminal offence. So if you change phone, remember to install back the JPJ app and remember the login details.

And when you pass your phone to polis to see, basically you also given the consent for them to search thru your phone. And they can open any photo gallery and apps to look for any illegal stuff (eg nudity, prawn, gambling app/website, political stuffs), which give them opportunity to look for any chance to charge you in court, which can land you in jail.

Also, somewhat forced to install a government app in your phone might opens to many privacy concern. Like how much info can the app access in your phone? Location? What if the app is compromised and got hacked, will it open for hackers to hack the phone?

Some people say he is best transport minister ever....

If don't have the renewal slip, need to make sure the phone got jpj app installed and registered.

Failure to produce the app in the phone is also an offence.

If planning to drive into Singapore or Thailand how to have flight ticket?

Create more bureaucratic process, more chances for individual officer to have their own discretion, more chances of ahHuat white coffee.

All pos office already got machine to print the physical lesen.
Now all of the machine just sitting there do nothing.

Problem is to apply for physical card is not easy and up to individual officer's discretion.

What used to be easy straightforward process that can be done in any pos office, become unnecessarily tedious.

Cannot day trip meh? Or cannot stay in friend's house? No hotel booking how?

Summor, we have to pay RM20 extra for the physical card, so should be no questions asked.

Now those lesen printer sitting in every pos office in the country collecting dust.

supper brilliant.

Just like go renew passport, need to prove going overseas.

This procedure does not make sense.

Used to be able to renew and get card in nearby pos office. minimal crowd and waiting. Don't mind paying RM2.50 service fee to pos office.

Now need to get a fake agoda itenary, apply half day leave, go Q at JPJ office, just to get a lesen card.

Now that everyone install JPJ app in their phone, god knows what info will gov extract from our phones?
