MyDigital ID not needed to log into MyJPJ on Oct 10 – Anthony Loke

Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced that the public will not need to use MyDigital ID to log into the MyJPJ app starting October 10.

Loke stated that users of MyJPJ can log in and use the app as usual.

“The public need not worry that after October 10 they will not be able to use MyJPJ. The application will continue to be accessible easily and quickly,” he said.

The media previously reported that users will be required to log into the MyJPJ app using a MyDigital ID starting October 10.

MyDigital ID serves as a form of digital identification and self-verification of individuals, which will be utilised by both the public and private sectors to confirm user identity during online transactions.

According to Loke, the instruction regarding the necessity of using MyDigital ID in MyJPJ was issued through a pop-up announcement within the app.

He clarified that the instruction was not an official announcement from the Ministry of Transport or the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and had been retracted immediately.

“The information communicated through the MyJPJ pop-up may have caused confusion among the public. I’ve seen numerous comments on social media expressing concern and feedback regarding this information,” he said, adding that MyJPJ currently has 10.5 million users.

He noted that the ministry supports the use of MyDigital ID; however, the integration process with the MyJPJ app needs to be conducted on the backend.

“We have held discussions and reached an agreement that the use of MyDigital ID as a login for the MyJPJ app should be implemented smoothly. This is to ensure that users of MyJPJ face no issues, and we will take some time for the backend integration,” Loke added.
