KUALA LUMPUR, July 1 ― All agencies under the Transport Ministry will resume counter services today with some guidelines set in line with the announcement by Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali on Tuesday.

 The ministry announced in a statement today that the counter services would only be for services that could not be conducted online and that physical attendance would be by appointments only as walk-ins would not be allowed.

"In addition, the capacity of those on duty at the counters must not exceed 50 per cent,” it said.

According to the ministry, all Road Transport Department (JPJ) counter services for transactions related to commercial and private vehicles would be available, except for services that could be conducted online through the public portal mySIKAP or the department strategic partners.

It said there were 38 services available online through mySIKAP, but 11 other transactions, including booking registration numbers and ownership details, will require registration via biometric confirmation (one-time registration) to proceed with online transaction on mySIKAP.
