The electronic driving test system is expected to be rolled out nationwide at the end of this year, says Anthony Loke.
The Transport Minister on Saturday (July 22) said there are procedures and details that need to be refined before the e-testing system, which is still currently under proof of concept (POC) stage, can be implemented.

00:00 The subject that is most important to be discussed in this meeting is the implementation of the e-testing system for the Institute of Management.
00:17 The e-testing system has been developed over the past few years and has gone through several phases of proof of concept.
00:29 Recently, the Ministry of Transport has sent me a letter of consideration to implement the e-testing system as it is required.
00:48 I have no problem with it. We are working on it. However, there are a few procedures that need to be changed and a few foundations that need to be laid.
00:58 I have discussed with the KSU that there are a few key issues that need to be resolved so that when it is implemented, it can run smoothly.
01:08 I am confident that it can be implemented in the near future. Several Institute of Management have been fully prepared.
01:19 Several Institute of Management have been installed. I know of one in Penang and one in Johor.
01:27 When we consider and decide to implement the e-testing system, it can be implemented in all Institutes of Management.
01:41 However, I have decided that it should not be done by force in the initial phase. We give the Institute of Management and students the choice.
01:57 If any Institute of Management is not ready to implement the system, we do not force them to change to the e-testing system.
02:03 If any Institute of Management has installed the e-testing system, students are given the choice to either follow the manual or e-testing method.
02:14 The advantage of e-testing is that we know that the test is done by computer and all the processes will be monitored by camera, sensor and in real time.
02:31 When the system fails, the students will know what they have failed.
02:35 This is a system that is more integrated, fair and smooth.
02:41 There are advantages, so we encourage people to use this e-testing system.
02:46 We are looking at several models and we do not force the Institute of Management to use any window.
02:55 No, it is open to any window that has received information from the JPC.
03:01 As long as they follow our specifications and our requirements, the system is allowed.
03:10 So, this is more competitive to the Institute of Management.
03:15 So, it is up to the Institute of Management whether they want to buy or sell the system and the payment is based on the use.
03:27 So, of course, there is a little cost that we need to allow to be charged to the students.
03:36 But we will ensure that the allowed charge must be appropriate and must not burden.
