The Malaysian Road Transport Department (Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan/JPJ) has reminded the public not to be deceived by an advertisement for free driving licenses that do not require undergoing exams.
The advertisement, which had gone viral on social media, used JPJ’s name and images. The department has issued a statement clarifying that it is fake.
JPJ emphasized in its statement that the use of the department’s official name and images in the advertisement is solely intended to lure the public into a false sense of confidence.
“JPJ would like to stress that the advertisement and the related accounts are fake. The public is advised not to be easily deceived by the spread of promotions through unauthorized advertisements or accounts.
“This is to avoid any confusion and financial loss. The public is also encouraged to refer to or contact JPJ first for further information,” it said in a Facebook post yesterday.
JPJ informed that any official complaints can be channeled to them through the JPJ Official Complaint Portal at https://jpj.spab.gov.my.
