The MyLesen B2 Driving Licence Assistance Programme attracted strong participation in Bukit Assek, with 2,900 individuals attending the initiative held at SMK Sacred Heart. The programme aims to make motorcycle licensing more affordable while promoting safer and more responsible road use.

Officiating the event, Bukit Assek assemblyman Joseph Chieng said the initiative was particularly beneficial for those from the B40 income group, who often face financial barriers when applying for a motorcycle licence. Through the MyLesen programme, participants can obtain a B2 licence at a subsidised fee of RM250, significantly lower than the typical market cost of RM800 to RM900.

Chieng noted that the reduced fee provides greater access for young people and working adults to become legally licensed riders without the strain of high upfront costs. He added that the programme not only addresses affordability, but also emphasises proper training and compliance with traffic regulations.

According to him, initiatives such as MyLesen play an important role in nurturing disciplined and considerate riders, which in turn contributes to improved road safety. By ensuring riders are properly trained and licensed, the programme helps lower the risks of accidents, injuries, and damage to property.

Organisers encouraged participants to take the training seriously and fully utilise the opportunity to develop safe riding habits that will benefit both themselves and other road users.

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) Sibu branch and Akademi Memandu Suria Sibu jointly organised the programme and conducted it in two sessions, with 1,800 participants attending the first session and 1,100 joining the second, reflecting strong community interest in accessible licensing initiatives.

The high turnout underlines the continued need for programmes that balance affordability with road safety education, supporting efforts to create a more compliant and responsible riding culture.
