JPJ added security features to the MyJPJ application
KUALA LUMPUR: From today, users who want to register with the MyJPJ application will need to enter the unique alphanumeric identifier number printed on the back of their respective driver’s licenses.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook said this was due to the Road Transport Department’s (JPJ) decision this morning to add another feature to the application to increase its level of safety.
“Those who have already registered through the MyJPJ application do not need to enter the number. This security measure is for new users,” he told reporters after launching Arts of The Move initiated by Think City at Pasar Seni MRT here today.
According to Loke, JPJ increased the security feature following previous complaints that the registration of the application only required an identity card number and that it could be misused by irresponsible parties.
He said the unique alphanumeric identifier number is different for each driver’s license issued by JPJ.
Loke said users who cannot use their identity card number to register in MyJPJ may have used the same identity card number when registering through the MySikap or JPJe-bid application.
“It is not possible to register using the same identification card for the second time,” he said.
Previously, Loke announced that private vehicle owners no longer need to display their respective road tax with immediate effect, but instead only need to show the document through the MyJPJ application developed internally.
Meanwhile, Think City in a statement informed that Arts On The Move is a program that aims to connect art and culture as well as downtown Kuala Lumpur to MRT passengers and visitors.
“Arts On The Move will take place every two weeks from February to June between 5pm and 6pm.
“The program will feature selected quality performances, art installations and workshops for passengers to enjoy and participate in,” according to the statement.
Arts On The Move is supported by MRT Corporation, Sime Darby Foundation, Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, and Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).
