No more theory tests for vocational driving licences
Transport Minister Anthony Loke says the Road Transport Department and the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research will review the theory class syllabus for all vocational licence categories, especially involving e-hailing and taxi services. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, April 10, 2023.
He told a press conference in Putrajaya today that candidates applying for PSV licence and GDL are still required to sit and complete the theory class before the licence is issued. Loke said theory classes for all vocational licence categories will also be carried out online, either through a platform provided by the Road Transport Department, the driving institute or a qualified intermediary business company regulated by the RTD.
“The RTD will set the conditions and regulations on the qualification of online platform providers and regulate the theory classes to ensure the legitimacy and integrity of candidates,” he said, adding that the data and information on the attendance of candidates will be integrated with the MySIKAP system so vocational licences can be issued directly to candidates without requiring their physical presence at the RTD counter.
