In their place is the MyJPJ app which was developed in-house by the department and is readily available for all major mobile platforms including Google Play for Android, Huawei AppGallery, and iOS App Store. Through this app as well as the mySIKAP web portal, the public can obtain the e-LKM and e-LMM which they can display to enforcement officers from JPJ itself and Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM). Anthony pointed out that even a screenshot or printed version of these digital road tax and driving licence documents can also be shown to enforcement officers. This is considering that a vehicle may not be driven by the owner itself such as a child who is driving a car that belonged to the parent although the public is still free to obtain the physical version of these documents if they prefer them. However, the new policy is currently only applicable to private drivers and vehicles for the time being. At the moment, the holders of LKM and LMM types still need to display or carry their physical stickers or cards:
LKM for companies LKM for commercial vehicles LKM for vehicles that are owned by non-Malaysians Learner’s Driving Licence (LDL) Vocational Driving Licence (PSV/GDL/KON) Non-Malaysian holders of LMM International Driving Permit (IDP)
The digitalisation of these LKM and LMM types will only take place at a later time although Anthony did not reveal the exact timeline for their implementation. This decision is part of the broader digitalisation effort for JPJ. The usage of digital LKM and LMM alone would provide savings of up to RM96 million per year according to the minister and he also pointed out that this may help reduce the congestion at JPJ offices and branches throughout the country.
