KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 18): The Ministry of Transport (MOT) will hold talks with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) to enable the mobile application for the selling and buying of used motorcycles to be integrated with the mySIKAP system for simpler, faster and safer transactions.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook said this is also to avoid any incidents involving the transfer of ownership and outstanding summonses.

Loke said although buyers could check summonses on the MyJPJ app, there are restrictions and controls on data sharing for users.

"This is to ensure users are safer and more secure, besides they can also see the condition of the motorcycles first before proceeding with the transaction.

"The registration system for motorcycles is the same as for cars. There is a grant. When a transaction takes place, there will be a change of name, ownership and so on. Currently, we have to do it manually at the JPJ. For cars, there is the eAuto system, which enables car owners to transfer ownership. Motorcycles do not have it yet,” he said.

He said this after the launch of the mobile app for the buying and selling of used motorcycles, Rider Gate at Lanai@MATIC, here on Saturday, which was also attended by Ramssol Group Bhd (KL:RAMSSOL) chairman Datuk Abdul Harith Abdullah.
