The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has been instructed to improve its JPJeBid system by Transport Minister Anthony Loke due to capacity constraints during peak hours, according to a statement released on Friday (Sept 8).
The Transport Ministry was made aware of alleged governance issues regarding the registration of classic number plates by JPJ, as stated in the ‘JPJandora Papers’ document. In response, Loke has established a Special Task Force within the ministry, which will include members from the ministry’s Integrity Unit.
The Special Task Force’s primary responsibility is to investigate the allegations and make recommendations to enhance the transparency of the classic number plate registration process.
Loke has taken action following the information provided in the ‘JPJandora Papers’ document, which prompted discussions during a post-Cabinet meeting.
The Transport Minister has ensured that the Special Task Force will thoroughly investigate the matter and suggest improvements to address the alleged lack of governance.
No further details regarding the allegations or specific improvements have been provided at this time.
It is unclear how the alleged lack of governance regarding classic number plate registration has affected the JPJeBid system during peak hours.
JPJeBid is an online vehicle registration system that allows users to bid for special and unique registration numbers for their vehicles.
Loke’s directive to improve the capacity constraints during peak hours may help alleviate any difficulties or issues experienced by users of the JPJeBid system.
The Transport Minister’s focus on enhancing transparency in the registration process for classic number plates indicates a commitment to addressing any potential governance issues within the JPJ.
