JPJ denies viral TikTok ads offering free driving licences without tests, warns public against scams using ministry officials’ images.
PUTRAJAYA: The Road Transport Department has denied viral TikTok advertisements claiming to offer free driving licences without testing requirements.
The fraudulent advertisements used images of senior Transport Ministry officials, including secretary-general Datuk Seri Jana Santhiran Muniayan.
JPJ confirmed in a statement that both the advertisements and accounts promoting such offers are completely fake.
The department emphasised these scams have no connection with JPJ operations or officials.
Irresponsible parties are using official government images to mislead and deceive the public.
“Members of the public are advised not to be deceived by unauthorised advertisements or accounts to avoid confusion and losses,” JPJ stated.
The department urged people to verify any suspicious driving licence offers directly through official JPJ channels.
