KUALA LUMPUR: If you are between the many who just cannot remember when your driving license needs to be renewed, there is now the perfect "reminder" a birthday renewal.
Transport Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha, who revealed this yesterday, said the Road Transport Department (JPJ) was operating on the particulars.
He said many motorists caught driving with expired licenses tended to use the excuse of forgetting to renew it.
"If the holder's next birthday is less than six months after the expiry of the license, the fee for the period will be free during the transition time," he said.
But if the period between the holder's next birthday and the expiry date of the license was more than six months, the holder would be charged 50% of the renewal fee, he added.
Kong said license holders would still be permitted to renew their license for up to five years.
The minister said the RTD was open to feedback and ideas on the proposed renewal system.
