file7lfzcjdyrvnnhannnfe1.jpg According to Anthony Loke, used car dealers will not have to visit the Road Transport Department in April in order to temporarily transfer ownership of the vehicles they purchase from sellers, The Star reported.

Once the e-STMS (Sistem Tukarmilik Sementara/Temporary Vehicle Ownership Transfer) is expanded and integrated with JPJ's MySikap system, dealers will be able to do so online, according to the Transport Minister.

"I have approved this and it is now up to JPJ's strategic partners eAuto to integrate the systems.

"I want them to work on it fast because I do not want people going to the JPJ unnecessarily when these things can be done online," he said at the Negri Sembilan Car Dealers and Credit Companies Association 42nd anniversary celebration here on Friday.

eAuto, who has been providing online services to the JPJ for a number of years allows used car dealers to quickly ascertain the car's history.


"The used car dealers who use eAuto's eSTMS will be able to print out all information about the car in their office and then use it for instance to check with financial institutions like how much it is worth immediately.

"They will also know who the owner is, if the car had changed hands previously and any other information about the vehicle which is available in JPJ's database," he said adding that this way, used car dealers would also know if the seller was trying to sell them a stolen car.

According to Loke, sellers will also be able to receive prompt refunds for any remaining road tax balances under the soon-to-be implemented system.


He added that the repayment plan would be revealed soon. "At the moment, the process is tedious as the used car buyer will have to physically go to JPJ to do this," he said.
