40.77 juta kenderaan berdaftar di Malaysia, 65.3% masih aktif

Malaysia has registered approximately 40.77 million private vehicles, with 65.3% of them still actively used, according to Transport Minister Loke Siew Fook. This figure represents an increase of around two million vehicles compared to the 38.7 million registered at the end of 2024. Loke stated in a parliamentary response that this number shows a rise of about two million vehicles compared to the 38.7 million registered at the end of 2024.

He added that around 1.62 million new vehicles were registered in 2025, consisting of 847,000 cars and 703,000 motorcycles. Out of the 26.6 million active vehicles, nearly 16 million are cars and 9.57 million are motorcycles. In response to a question from Zahari Kechik (PN-Jeli), Loke explained that the increase in private vehicles is contributing to worsening traffic congestion, which in turn is reducing the productivity of Malaysian citizens who have to spend more time on roads.

Continued reliance on private vehicles also increases travel costs, air pollution, and puts additional pressure on road infrastructure. Consequently, Loke's ministry has implemented various initiatives to promote public transportation use and reduce dependence on private vehicles, including the construction of the new LRT3 and LRT Mutiara projects.
