The eligibility criteria for the Malaysian Driving Licence (LLM) Special Transition Programme for motorcyclists from class B1 and B2 to class B (high-powered motorcycles), which began yesterday, have been immediately relaxed following public complaints.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke said one of the original conditions required individuals to hold an active LMM class B1 or B2 licence for at least 10 consecutive years.

After considering public feedback, the matter was discussed with Road Transport Department (RTD) director-general Aedy Fadly Ramli, who agreed to ease the requirement.
