SIBU (May 10): The Class B2 Motorcycle Licence Assistance Programme (BLM) is a step forward towards reducing the number of unlicensed riders on the road.
In stating this, Lanang MP Alice Lau has noted that one of the benefits is the education given to the riders advocating the practice of safe behaviours on the road.
'Additionally, obtaining a licence requires them to learn about the process, including the laws and everything else involved,' she told reporters when met after attending the closing ceremony of the BLM for the Lanang parliamentary constituency, at SMK Sacred Heart here today.
This initiative by the Transport Ministry through the Road Transport Department (JPJ) is one of the government's efforts to provide assistance to the B40 (low-income) group in obtaining a Class B2 motorcycle licence.
Meanwhile, JPJ Sarawak director Norizan Jili said since the programme's implementation in early last year, a total of 13,370 participants had received their B2 licences.
'In 2025, a total of 3,078 residents across Sarawak have successfully obtained their licenses.
'The number of participants will continue to be increased from time to time based on the set conditions and criteria,' said Norizan.
Also in attendance was JPJ Sibu branch chief Nurul Fairezzah Safri. Alice Lau BLM Class B2 Motorcycle Licence Assistance Programme Sibu

In addition, renewals can also be done via the MyJPJ app, mySIKAP JPJ portal, JPJ mobile counters, and JPJ strategic partners. – Malay Mail photo PUTRAJAYA (June 5): Motor Vehicle Licence (LKM or road tax) renewals for individual private vehicles can be carried out at Road Transport Department (JPJ) kiosks in Sabah and Sarawak starting tomorrow. JPJ, in a statement today, said the renewal service will be available at 41 kiosks; 21 in Sabah and 20 in Sarawak. This service, however, applies only to private vehicles registered from 2020 onwards. 'For individual private vehicles registered before 2020, owners or their representatives must go to the JPJ counters for renewal,' it said. In addition, renewals can also be done via the MyJPJ app, mySIKAP JPJ portal, JPJ mobile counters, and JPJ strategic partners. Vehicle owners are also advised to ensure their motor insurance coverage is valid and active before renewing their road tax at JPJ kiosks, as the system will automatically verify insurance details during the transaction. 'This initiative is part of JPJ's ongoing efforts to enhance service efficiency and provide greater convenience to the public by digitalising its services. 'Through the use of self-service kiosks, users can carry out road tax renewals independently and quickly without needing to queue at the counter,' the statement said. At the same time, JPJ reiterated its commitment to expanding access to digital services, in line with the government's aspirations for a fully digital public service transformation and more efficient service delivery. – Bernama JPJ kiosks LKM private vehicles renewals road tax sabah sarawak
