JOHOR BARU: The digital road tax and driving licences, introduced in last February, are here to stay, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
"The ministry will not be reviewing the implementation of the digital road tax and driving licences even though there are calls from some people to do so," he told a press conference.
"We have to be progressive. Many services are now digital," he said, adding the initiative was in line with the country's digitalisation policy.
"People can still print their digital road tax if necessary, including to comply with laws in neighbouring countries. It is not a problem."
Earlier, Loke launched the Asean Ports and Logistics Conference and Exhibition here.
Previously, some users called for the reinstatement of physical road tax and driving licences to comply with requirements to enter Thailand.
In August last year, two Malaysians were reportedly fined by Thai authorities after they were only able to produce their digital licences.
Loke said road users only needed to print their digital road tax and licences to enter another country.
"Digitalisation will continue. This doesn't mean the road tax and license cannot be printed, you can print it yourself.
"If you want to enter Thailand which requires a physical road tax and licence, just print it, it is not difficult."
