Miri Launches Program for Students to Get Motorcycle Licences

Miri Launches Program for Students to Get Motorcycle Licences

Starting this month, Miri is introducing a special program to help high school students get motorcycle licenses.

The Sarawak Transport Minister, Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin, shared that the Sarawak Road Transport Department approved 1,000 Class B2 licenses for this project under the MyLesen Driving License Assistance Program (BLM).

The focus is on students aged 16 and above from low-income families, offering them a subsidized rate of RM250 for the license. Minister Lee hopes the training will make students more careful when riding motorcycles.

The program was initially planned for six months but can be extended based on the need. Minister Lee urges school principals to submit names of students without licenses or those wanting to get one by January 31.

Eligible participants include B40 assistance recipients, e-Kasih beneficiaries, and those certified with disabilities by medical professionals. Minister Lee aims to expand the program to other areas facing similar challenges.

Highlighting the issue of illegal motorcycle racing among students, Minister Lee wants to reduce it through the program’s road safety education. He emphasizes that students riding motorcycles to school should have a license and understand traffic rules to prevent accidents.

Minister Lee envisions extending the program to villages to help residents obtain motorcycle licenses. The press conference included key figures like JPJ Sarawak Director Norizan Jili, JPJ Miri Chief Fifi Suhesty Hasmuni, Miri Deputy Resident Juan Ubit, and Miri District Assistant Education Officer Then Fen Nee, all supporting the initiative. Miri’s MyLesen Driving License Assistance Program aims to make roads safer and empower youth, setting an example for other regions facing similar challenges.
