The Ministry of Transport (MoT) has extended the road tax renewal exemption period for private vehicles by another 2 months. The exemption period will be extended to 31 May 2021.
Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong made the announcement to reporters at a gotong-royong programme in Parit Raja. He also reminded road users to ensure they have valid motor vehicle insurance.

The minister further elaborated the decision was made in light of the continuous high number of new Covid-19 cases in certain states, especially Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.
He also told reporters that the ministry is coming up with a more effective way to settle unpaid road tax cases in phases. This is to avoid congestion at JPJ counters once the exemption comes to an end.

The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle women’s magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
