The Road Transport Department forecasts exceeding last year’s revenue, with collections among the highest in Malaysia after Customs and LHDN
PUTRAJAYA: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) anticipates revenue collection this year will exceed last year’s achievement with an increase of between 3% and 5%.
JPJ Director-General Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said an announcement regarding the total overall collection will be made towards the end of the year after all data has been reviewed.
“So far, our collection has reached and exceeded the target compared to last year,” he told the media after a media appreciation ceremony.
He said JPJ’s revenue collection is among the highest in the country, after the Royal Malaysian Customs Department and the Inland Revenue Board.
Aedy Fadly said that next year marks JPJ’s 80th anniversary and a large-scale celebration is tentatively planned for April 2026.
Regarding floods in several states, he said JPJ has mobilised its disaster teams nationwide to assist flood victims, including in states not directly affected.
He said every state now has a special team on standby, which has been mobilised according to current needs and instructions.
“For example, in Perlis, we mobilised JPJ Kedah to help bring assets like lorries for the purpose of sending aid to affected residents,” he said.
He explained that although JPJ is not the main agency in rescue operations, the department acts as a supporter for related agencies in humanitarian missions.
At the same time, he said JPJ also pays attention to its staff members who have been affected by the floods and will channel appropriate assistance.
