PETALING JAYA: Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong visited the Wangsa Maju Road Transport Department following the reopening of all its branches nationwide.

       “I am satisfied with the strict compliance of the standard operating procedure to curb the spread of Covid-19 and at the same time its continued service to the public,” he said.

       He said the public, when he spoke to them during the visit, also made several suggestions, such as increasing mobile counters to conduct transactions with JPJ via drive-through, which was easier.

       The service would also enable those who have yet to be fully vaccinated to carry out their transactions with JPJ, he said on his Facebook page yesterday.

       Dr Wee noted that the Wangsa Maju JPJ was one of the busiest branches, receiving about 1,200 customers a day when its counters opened for online appointments.

       He said the number increased to more than 2,000 when walk-ins were allowed.

       Dr Wee said the public could also conduct their business with the JPJ through online portals such as MySikap JPJ, MyEG, Puspakom and Pos Malaysia.

       Group counters, he said, were provided to facilitate those who dealt with huge numbers of transactions through private companies.

       “Priority is also given to senior citizens and the disabled at the JPJ counters,” he said.

       During the visit, Dr Wee was also accompanied by Kuala Lumpur JPJ director Mohd Zaki Ismail and JPJ Kuala Lumpur enforcement chief Ahmad Kamarunzaman Mehat.
