Attention all Malaysian driver’s license holders! According to the Malaysian Land Transport Authority, if people do not renew their expired licenses within a certain period of time, this will result in them having to face a license retest.
Every Malaysian driver’s license has an expiration date and once it expires, it must be renewed or you will not be allowed to drive. If a license holder does not renew his or her license within a specific period, the license will be cancelled. Affected persons must take a new driving test.
The Lesen Belajar Memandu (LDL) can be renewed every 3 or 6 months for a maximum of 2 years, after which it will be canceled if the P license is not obtained within 2 years.
