PUTRAJAYA: Those seeking a vocational driving licence will no longer be required to sit for a theory test, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
He said this exemption was for those applying for vocational licence under the Public Service Vehicle and Goods Driver’s Licence category.“In line with the ministry’s digitalisation efforts, theory classes for all categories of vocational licence can be conducted online, through platforms provided by the Road Transport Department and driving institutes,” he told a press conference on Monday .
He said the department would also determine conditions to be followed by those providing online platforms to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the candidates.“This will allow vocational licence be issued directly to the candidate without them having to be physically present at the JPJ counters to collect their licence,” he added.
On the extension of the age limit for taxis and ehailing vehicles from 10 to 15 years, Loke said the new ruling applies to all ehailing vehicles nationwide and taxis, airport taxis and luxury taxis in Peninsular Malaysia.
