JPJ Will Discuss Recruiting More Personnel With Public Service Agencies

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) will meet with the Public Service Commission (SPA) and the Public Service Department (JPA) next year to request the recruitment of additional officers and personnel due to the department's increased needs, particularly in the enforcement division.
JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli stated that the recruitment is also intended to address officer and personnel shortages in several states, including Kuala Lumpur and Johor, where staffing levels are less than 90%.

“As of now, JPJ’s staffing is at 82 per cent, and we still have many vacancies to fill...if the request for additional recruitment is approved by the JPA, more than 250 new officers and staff will be recruited next year.

“Next year, we will focus on enforcement through various new enforcement operations currently being planned, and we need more officers and personnel,“ he said. In a statement released last month, Aedy emphasized that the department working under his leadership is largely concentrated on enhancing JPJ's public delivery system, which will cut down on traffic and wait times while also offering effective counter service.
