According to various mainstream news reports, transport minister Anthony Loke has said that MyJPJ users do not need a MyDigital ID to use the app for now, and that the October 10 deadline is cancelled.
“Following a pop-up announcement in the MyJPJ app, I want to clarify that this is not an official announcement, and there is information that has been disseminated which may confuse the public. I’ve noticed many comments on social media expressing concern and feedback regarding this matter.
“Firstly, I have instructed that the pop-up be removed as there has been no decision from the ministry yet. Earlier today, after the post-cabinet meeting, I had discussions with representatives from MyDigital ID. We are committed to supporting the integration of MyDigital ID with (JPJ),” Loke was quoted by the Malay Mail as saying at a press conference today.
He added that the MyDigital ID-JPJ integration needs to be executed seamlessly on the back-end, and that this will take some time.
Loke’s announcement comes after various reports of Malaysians facing difficulties trying to register for MyDigital ID after learning that it was required to log into the MyJPJ app beginning October 10.
“I have directed (JPJ) to allow the public continued access to the MyJPJ app as usual, and there is currently no set deadline, ensuring there will be no disruptions,” he added.
