Let&rsquo;s be honest&mdash;sometimes we miss the old days of carrying physical documents. It often feels more convenient to have them on hand rather than needing to log into an app just to display them.
While the convenience of handling tasks online, like renewing road tax, driving licenses, and passports, is undeniable, juggling multiple apps can be a challenge&mdash;especially when it comes to remembering passwords. One app that many Malaysians have turned to in line with the nation&rsquo;s digitalisation efforts is the MyJPJ app, which allows users to display their driving license and vehicle road tax digitally.
However, there&rsquo;s a significant update that all users should be aware of to avoid any issues at upcoming roadblocks or even when checking in at a security post.
MyJPJ App Requires Users To Login With MyDigital ID
If you've recently opened the MyJPJ app, you may have noticed an announcement stating that users will soon be required to create a MyDigital ID account to log in to the app moving forward.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/1ad163480d7cad795ed02ea46eabb9b4de9f862dffc74d8231f94242a916a416" />
The displayed message indicates that starting from October 10, 2024, logging in will require a MyDigital ID account. Users who do not register for a MyDigital ID will be unable to access the MyJPJ app after this date.
"From October 10, 2024, a single login using MyDigital ID will be mandatory. We recommend registering on the MyDigital ID app as soon as possible to avoid login issues," states the announcement on the MyJPJ application.
To assist users, JPJ has included a button that links to the MyDigital ID app, available for download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e7d8c4b9af2ebdcb86fb9abae60688b11f4fe9282cbb987e31a42cd763d2e457" />
Since the MyDigital ID and MyJPJ applications are government services, it&rsquo;s reasonable to assume that other government-related apps would follow a similar login process. However, upon reviewing the MySejahtera app, there hasn&rsquo;t been any announcement regarding this requirement, though it does offer options to log in using your phone number or MyDigital ID. It's important to note that the MyDigital ID login has not yet been made universally mandatory.
What Exactly Is MyDigital ID?
For those unfamiliar, MyDigital ID is an app designed to serve as an authentication method, streamlining access to various government digital services while enhancing the security of online transactions. On December 1, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim became the first person in Malaysia to register for the National Digital Identity, marking a significant milestone in the country's digital identification initiative.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a161f68af66e679a7253509bbf1b9a1bd6dbed03b4925eef33fecf2e84388a56" />
Moreover, using MyDigital ID on government portals ensures secure transactions through a cryptography-based system that has received General Criteria Certification with EAL3+ recognition at the international level. Additionally, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (SKMM) has noted that this system is also utilized in several other countries, including Estonia, India, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
Citizens in Malaysia can use this digital identity for a variety of transactions, including:
<ul>
<li>Open an account without having to be physically present at the bank to prove your identity.</li>
<li>Conduct consultations with doctors and obtain prescriptions for medicines online through access to health records.</li>
<li>Perform real estate rental transactions.</li>
<li>Vote online.</li>
<li>E-learning.</li>
</ul>
Here&rsquo;s how you register for the app:

Step 2: Enter Your Email
<ul>
<li>Type your email address in the provided field and click "Next."</li>
</ul>
Step 3: Retrieve and Enter OTP
<ul>

<li>Enter the OTP in the app (note: the OTP is valid for only five minutes).</li>
<li>Click "Next" once the code is entered.</li>
</ul>
Step 4: Enter Your Personal Information
<ul>
<li>&nbsp;Provide your name, identification card (IC) number, or MyKad number, then click "Next."</li>
</ul>
Step 5: Capture MyKad Photos
<ul>
<li>Use your phone to take a photo of the front of your MyKad, followed by a photo of the back.</li>
</ul>
Step 6: Take a Selfie
<ul>
<li>Next, take a selfie using your phone. Ensure your face fits clearly within the frame.</li>
</ul>
Step 7: Complete EKYC Process
<ul>
<li>After submitting your selfie, you&rsquo;ll receive a confirmation message indicating that the EKYC (electronic know-your-customer) process is complete.</li>
</ul>
Step 8: Choose Your Password
<ul>
<li>Set your password for MyDigital ID.</li>
</ul>
Step 9: Save Your Digital ID
<ul>
<li>You&rsquo;ll be prompted with the message: "Adakah anda mahu menyimpan Digital ID dalam peranti ini?" (Do you want to store the Digital ID on this device?).</li>
<li>Click "OK."</li>
</ul>
Step 10: Confirmation and Expiry
<ul>
<li>&nbsp;You&rsquo;ll receive a message in the national language confirming that your digital ID is ready to use.</li>
<li>The app will also display the expiration date of your MyDigital ID, which is valid for one year. (You&rsquo;ll be able to renew it after it expires.)</li>
</ul>
Step 11: QR Code Scanning
<ul>
<li>The app will now display a blue button labelled "Imbas QR" (scan QR), which allows you to use your MyDigital ID by scanning QR codes.</li>
</ul>
We&rsquo;ve got just 10 days left to register, so we highly recommend getting it done as soon as possible&mdash;before the system gets overloaded like the PADU registration did in the past!

M'sians Must Use MyDigital ID To Access MyJPJ App Starting 10 October

The Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) has issued a formal termination notice to ride-hailing platform inDrive, signalling the potential end of the company&rsquo;s operations in Malaysia. The notice, dated 24 April 2025, gives the company three months to either resolve the situation or return its Intermediation Business Licence (IBL) by 24 July 2025.
APAD cited non-compliance with conditions outlined under the Land Public Transport Act 2010 (Act 715) and regulatory requirements introduced in 2019. These include failing to ensure that its drivers possess valid Public Service Vehicle (PSV) and E-Hailing Vehicle Permit (eVP) licences&mdash;documents that are legally mandatory for all e-hailing drivers in Malaysia.
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/f5177438ced0f67029bf28f266da08ada5e4a38a458c501f6428bdc0fadb9afb" />
In its official statement to media, APAD reiterated that the government takes any breach of IBL conditions seriously and is prepared to enforce strict action, including revocation, against operators that fail to comply. It stressed that all e-hailing licence holders must maintain satisfactory service standards and adhere to current laws at all times.
Safety and Documentation Failures Behind Regulatory Action
&nbsp;<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/ad2b220e472e2aac4ab0891887052075f51969fbb2a94174986943a67e082eaa" />
While inDrive continues to operate for now, sources say that the company had been issued multiple show-cause letters over a prolonged period prior to the termination notice. Authorities became increasingly concerned over the platform&rsquo;s failure to vet its drivers appropriately. Many were reportedly operating without valid PSV or eVP licences, raising serious questions about passenger safety.
The situation escalated due to a rise in safety-related incidents involving inDrive drivers, which further undermined public trust in the platform. APAD&rsquo;s decision also reflects wider efforts by Malaysian authorities to tighten oversight over e-hailing services and curb unauthorised operations.
This enforcement action bears striking resemblance to the case of Maxim, another Russian-founded ride-hailing firm that was expelled from the Malaysian market in 2023. At the time, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) discovered that out of 5,000 vehicles listed under Maxim, only 8% were properly licensed. That led to a full revocation of Maxim&rsquo;s licence and a ban on its services in the country.
inDrive Responds: &lsquo;We&rsquo;re Engaging with Authorities&rsquo;
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7d92625395d1b8d4a74e0b1eb9c3b753494e36e9e4c06636ab1fbb54b029e578" />
In response to the latest development, inDrive has confirmed it is in active dialogue with APAD and other relevant regulatory bodies. In a statement issued, the company stressed its commitment to Malaysian users and said it was proactively seeking clarity on the reasons behind the licence revocation notice.
&ldquo;We are committed to providing safe, reliable, and accessible mobility solutions to the tens of thousands of people across Malaysia who rely on our platform every day,&rdquo; the company said. &ldquo;As a global mobility and urban services platform, inDrive operates with the highest regard for local laws, regulations, and the communities we serve.&rdquo;
The company also reassured its driver-partners and passengers that its services would continue uninterrupted while discussions with authorities were ongoing. inDrive Malaysia sent a message to its drivers stating it was &ldquo;currently in communication with the relevant regulatory authorities to seek further clarification regarding a recent development involving our operations.&rdquo;
It further promised to issue public updates once greater clarity has been achieved. In the meantime, drivers have been encouraged to continue offering services as usual, although their compliance with local licensing laws remains under scrutiny.
A Rocky Regulatory History in Malaysia
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0e387d516ee29b160ae0d4381960b0b358032a49cc4e081accee6ecda885d31d" />
This isn&rsquo;t the first time inDrive has clashed with Malaysian transport regulators. In September 2023, the company was fined RM10,000 after pleading guilty to operating without the proper authorisation following a raid by JPJ. Although inDrive quickly settled the fine and made efforts to re-engage with APAD, that previous violation has clearly factored into the latest decision.
Despite these challenges, the company has shown no signs of slowing down. inDrive had previously announced plans to grow its Malaysian driver base to over 40,000 by the end of 2025, following rapid expansion in key urban centres like Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Penang, and Johor Bahru since its entry in late 2021.
What sets inDrive apart from major competitors like Grab is its unique pricing model&mdash;users can negotiate fares directly with drivers, a concept inspired by traditional marketplace bargaining. This &ldquo;name-your-price&rdquo; approach has attracted budget-conscious riders and drivers seeking greater control over their earnings.
What Happens Next? Appeal Process and Ministry Review
While APAD&rsquo;s notice is a serious blow, inDrive still has the opportunity to appeal. The company may submit a formal appeal through APAD, which will then forward the matter to the Ministry of Transport for further consideration. The final decision on whether inDrive will be allowed to continue operating in Malaysia lies with the ministry.
APAD&rsquo;s statement made it clear that enforcement action is a last resort, but one that will be taken without hesitation if necessary. The agency urged all existing e-hailing operators to prioritise service quality and passenger safety, stressing that non-compliance would no longer be tolerated in an increasingly regulated digital mobility environment.
The Bigger Picture: A Tighter Grip on E-Hailing
This case is part of a broader regulatory tightening across Malaysia&rsquo;s transport sector, particularly in the e-hailing space. With the rise of app-based services, the government is now under pressure to ensure that public safety, driver qualifications, and operational transparency are not compromised for the sake of rapid expansion or price competition.
For inDrive, the next few weeks will be critical. The company must either convince authorities of its willingness and ability to comply&mdash;or prepare to exit one of Southeast Asia&rsquo;s most promising mobility markets.
For passengers who&rsquo;ve grown accustomed to its affordable, flexible rides, the uncertainty may be cause for concern. And for Malaysia&rsquo;s e-hailing industry, this serves as a clear reminder: regulatory compliance is no longer optional&mdash;it&rsquo;s the price of entry.

APAD has issued a three-month notice to inDrive, but the company may still appeal through the Transport Ministry.

Pink Sweat$ Returns To KL For A Soulful Headline Show This June

After much anticipation and years of growing support in the region, K-pop sensation RIIZE has officially confirmed their first-ever concert in Malaysia, as well as a highly anticipated stop in Singapore, as part of their expansive 2025&ndash;2026 &lsquo;RIIZING LOUD&rsquo; Asia Tour.
This marks a major milestone for both the group and their Southeast Asian fanbase, especially those in Kuala Lumpur, who were left disappointed when Malaysia was left off the group&rsquo;s previous Asia tour. Now, the wait is finally over &mdash; and RIIZE is more than ready to light up the stage.
Who Are RIIZE?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/019570065f9ceb4427d8224b7cbb06a3e5e38f8a98762ed85e9f5aab080cfd44" />
RIIZE is a South Korean boy band formed by SM Entertainment, debuting on September 4, 2023, with the single album Get a Guitar. The group originally consisted of seven members: Shotaro, Eunseok, Sungchan, Wonbin, Sohee, Anton, and Seunghan. However, Seunghan departed from the group in October 2024.
RIIZE quickly gained attention with their debut single Get a Guitar, which sold over a million copies in its first week, making them the first group not formed through a survival show to achieve such a feat. Their music, characterized as "Emotional Pop," captures a range of emotions inspired by everyday experiences.
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2H0duKgnYgE" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Following their debut, RIIZE released several successful tracks, including "Memories," "Talk Saxy," "Love 119," "Impossible," and "Boom Boom Bass." Their first mini-album, RIIZING, further showcased their musical versatility and solidified their presence in the K-pop industry.
The group has received numerous accolades, such as Rookie of the Year at the Circle Chart Music Awards and the Melon Music Awards in 2023. In 2025, they won the Performance of the Year (Daesang) at the D Awards, highlighting their impactful performances.
RIIZE has also embarked on international tours, including their Riizing Day fan concert tour, which took place from May to September 2024 across various countries. They are scheduled to hold their debut Malaysian concert in Kuala Lumpur on August 16, 2025.
With their rapid rise in popularity, compelling music, and dynamic performances, RIIZE continues to establish themselves as one of the prominent K-pop groups of their generation.

The Asia tour will kick off with a spectacular three-night show at the KSPO Dome in Seoul from 4th to 6th July 2025, setting the tone for what promises to be a dynamic and high-energy tour across the continent.

While ticketing details have yet to be announced, the buzz around the Malaysian stop is already palpable, with many fans already preparing for a potential online ticketing frenzy.
Singapore Gets Their Turn In January 2026

RIIZE Is Finally Coming To Malaysia And Singapore With Their ‘RIIZING LOUD’ Asia Tour

After more than a decade of dazzling performances with EXO and a string of solo hits under his belt, Baekhyun is finally embarking on his first-ever solo world tour &mdash; and it&rsquo;s one for the books. Titled Reverie, the highly anticipated tour will span multiple continents and includes stops in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, marking a significant milestone in Baekhyun&rsquo;s solo journey.

Baekhyun is a South Korean singer, songwriter, and actor renowned for his dynamic vocals and charismatic stage presence. He debuted in 2012 as a member of the K-pop group EXO, as well as its sub-units EXO-K and EXO-CBX, and later became the leader of the supergroup SuperM.

Baekhyun launched his solo career in 2019 with the EP City Lights, which sold over 550,000 copies, making it the best-selling solo album in South Korea for that year. He continued his success with Delight (2020), which became the first album by a South Korean soloist to surpass one million sales in 19 years, and Bambi (2021), which also achieved million-seller status. His 2024 album Hello, World was the world's best-selling album by a K-pop soloist that year, with 1.4 million units sold.
Throughout his career, Baekhyun has received numerous accolades, including three consecutive Mnet Asian Music Awards for Best Male Artist from 2019 to 2021. He has also been recognized with awards from the Golden Disc Awards, Melon Music Awards, and Seoul Music Awards.
In 2023, Baekhyun established his own label, INB100, seeking greater creative autonomy while continuing group activities with EXO under SM Entertainment. He embarked on his first solo tour, the Lonsdaleite Tour, in 2024, performing across Asia and showcasing his versatility as an artist.
Beyond music, Baekhyun has ventured into acting, notably starring in the historical drama Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016), for which he received the New Star Award at the SBS Drama Awards. He also co-hosted the music program Inkigayo and participated in various variety shows, further demonstrating his multifaceted talent.
A New Era Begins: Baekhyun&rsquo;s First Solo World Tour
The Reverie tour is more than just another concert series &mdash; it&rsquo;s the beginning of a new chapter for Baekhyun as he reconnects with fans across the globe in an intimate and powerful way. Kicking off this June 2025 in Seoul, the tour will support his forthcoming solo EP titled Essence of Reverie, due for release on 19th June 2025. This marks Baekhyun&rsquo;s fifth solo project, continuing his successful streak as one of K-pop&rsquo;s most accomplished male soloists.
From his silky-smooth R&amp;B vocals to his emotive stage presence, Baekhyun has consistently proven that he&rsquo;s a force to be reckoned with &mdash; not just as a member of EXO, but as a standalone artist in his own right. Fans can expect a blend of old favourites like Candy, UN Village, and Bambi, as well as brand-new songs from his upcoming album.
Malaysia Finally Gets Its Wish: KL Concert Confirmed

Baekhyun’s ‘Reverie’ World Tour Is Coming to KL and Singapore!

After ten years of making their mark on the Malaysian music scene &mdash; and in the playlists of countless fans across the region &mdash; pop-rock band Insomniacks are ready to take the stage for their first-ever solo concert. Titled Echoes of a Dream: Insomniacks Live in Concert, the event marks a significant milestone for the beloved group.
From YouTube Covers to Chart-Topping Hits
&nbsp;
Insomniacks is a Malaysian pop-rock band that has rapidly emerged as one of the country's most beloved music acts, known for their emotionally charged lyrics, catchy melodies, and youthful energy. Formed in 2015, the band first gained attention by uploading cover songs on YouTube, showcasing their raw talent and chemistry. It wasn&rsquo;t long before they transitioned into crafting their own original sound, debuting with the heartfelt single &ldquo;Selalu&rdquo; in 2017 &mdash; a song that resonated deeply with listeners and was featured on the Astro Ria drama My Coffee Prince.

However, it was their breakout hit &ldquo;Pulang&rdquo; in 2018 that propelled them into mainstream success. The single dominated local airwaves and rose to the top of the Recording Industry Malaysia (RIM) charts, becoming an anthem of longing and nostalgia for a new generation of listeners. Known for their seamless fusion of pop, rock, and punk elements, Insomniacks' distinct sound continues to connect with fans across Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Brunei.
Their growing influence has earned them numerous accolades, including recognition as one of the Top 5 most-streamed Malaysian artists on Spotify in 2024. With multiple radio hits under their belt, including fan-favorites like &ldquo;Igauan Malam&rdquo;, &ldquo;Reminisensi&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Kepulanganmu&rdquo;, the band&rsquo;s momentum shows no signs of slowing down. As they continue to tour and produce new music, Insomniacks stands as a shining example of Malaysia&rsquo;s thriving contemporary music scene.
Today, the band comprises three members: frontman and lead guitarist Iqie (Syed Mir Iqbal), bassist and vocalist Wan Arif Iskandar, and rhythm guitarist and vocalist Danial Lee Hashim. Previously a quartet, drummer Gavin Wong departed the group in 2022.
