JPJ on Track for Higher Revenue Collection in 2025

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) expects its revenue collection this year to surpass last year’s figures, with growth projected between 3% and 5%.

JPJ Director-General Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said the department will announce the total collections at the end of the year, once all data has been fully reviewed.

“So far, our collections have already met and exceeded our targets compared to last year. Typically, we see an annual increase of 3-5%,” he told reporters during a media appreciation event today.

Datuk Aedy Fadly highlighted that JPJ’s revenue ranks among the highest in the country, trailing only behind the Royal Malaysian Customs Department and the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN).

On the recent floods affecting several states, he noted that JPJ has activated its disaster teams nationwide to provide support, even in areas not directly impacted.

“Each state now has a special team on standby, deployed as needed,” he explained. “For example, in Perlis, we coordinated with JPJ Kedah to provide lorries for delivering aid to affected residents. We also assisted school students stranded by rising waters to get home safely.”

While JPJ is not the lead agency in rescue operations, he said the department plays a supporting role in humanitarian missions, working alongside other agencies during disasters.

He added that JPJ is also attentive to its staff members affected by the floods and will ensure appropriate assistance is provided to safeguard their welfare.
