Malaysia's Road Transport Department (JPJ) rejected recent social media claims that it was issuing free vehicle licences to the public. The agency stated these advertisements are false and unauthorized and warned users not to trust suspicious accounts promoting such offers [1].
JPJ said it had received multiple complaints about fake advertisements circulating online. It emphasized that official announcements are made only through verified Facebook pages and official channels, not unofficial or unverified profiles [1].
“The public is advised not to be easily deceived by any promotions offered through suspicious accounts or platforms to avoid confusion and the risk of financial loss,” JPJ said, urging caution when encountering such online claims [1].
The department also clarified that the application session for its MyLesen B2 programme had already closed. Only those selected from the closed session will be contacted to register at driving institutes [1]. JPJ added, “The MyLesen B2 programme application session has been closed, and selected individuals will be contacted to register at driving institutes” [1].
JPJ affirmed its commitment to providing accurate information and protecting users from fraud. “JPJ is committed to ensuring the delivery of accurate information and protecting the interests of users from any form of fraud,” the department said [1].
The report addressing these issues was published on May 1 [1].
