Fake TikTok ad for test-free driving licences reported to MCMC
Read in: English · 中文 · Bahasa Melayu
JPJ says a TikTok account promoting driving licences without tests is fake and has reported it to MCMC. The department warned the public not to trust unverified ads or accounts.
Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) has denied a TikTok promotion claiming that driving licences can be obtained without taking tests. The department said the account and its advertisements are fake and have no link to JPJ.
According to the report, JPJ has lodged a complaint with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) so action can be taken against the content.
JPJ also reminded the public to be careful with licence offers seen on social media, especially if they come from unverified accounts or advertisements.
The warning is aimed at preventing confusion and losses for people who may be tempted by such offers. For drivers, workshops and dealers, the key message is to verify anything that claims to offer official driving-licence services online.
What it means for you: Ignore social media posts that promise a driving licence without tests, and verify any JPJ-related service through official channels first.
