The 2023 Driver’s License Assistance for Malaysians was announced during the presentation of the 2023 Budget in an effort to help B40 youth.
According to Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the Government will cover the cost for the B2 driver’s license. This is because based on vehicle usage statistics, there are still many Malaysians who use vehicles on the road without having a valid driver’s license.
The initiative aims to not only help the B40 youth group but also improve the country’s economic development from the aspect of public transport.
The government agrees to bear the cost of paying to get a driver’s license for the following categories:
While the government has announced that it will be bearing the license fee, applicants would need to foot a minimal fee for relevant services. Those who are eligible to receive this assistance only need to pay RM250 of the original total price to obtain a license which is around RM750.
