This time around, it has gone way more ridiculous than before as the Malaysian Road Transport Department (JPJ) has received a report related to the advertisement of Bantuan Lesen Memandu Percuma Buat Semua Golongan through the WhatsApp online platform.

Via fake advertisement that have misused the image of the Prime Minister of Malaysia Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, the syndicate is promoting a free driving license that can be registered at this link - https://www.motif.my/bantuan-lesen/.

More than that, the public is also invited to join the WhatsApp Group to allure more victims in a way to expand their deceiving acts.

JPJ takes this flying license (Lesen Terbang) syndicate fraud seriously and further investigation will be carried out including making a report to the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) and the Malaysian Communications & Multimedia Commission (SKMM).

In this regard, JPJ advises the public not to believe and do contact the nearest JPJ office to obtain relevant information.
