RTD warns of fake TikTok account offering driving licences without tests
KUALA LUMPUR: The Road Transport Department (RTD) has confirmed that a TikTok account using the name Ahmad Mushidi, which offers driving licences without requiring applicants to sit for tests, is fake.
The Road Transport Department (RTD) in Malaysia has issued a warning about a fraudulent TikTok account, operated by Ahmad Mushidi, that is offering driving licences without the need for applicants to take tests. The RTD received complaints regarding advertisements on the platform that promised to provide driving licences without mandatory classes or driving tests. In response to these complaints, the department reported the issue to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).
The RTD is urging the public to be cautious and not to fall for deceptive advertisements or unverified accounts that claim to offer such services. Such actions can lead to confusion and financial losses for individuals. Any inquiries or announcements concerning RTD services should only be made through the department's official platforms, as stated in a statement released on their official Facebook page.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that the TikTok account was advertising Class B2 motorcycle licences for RM350 and full Class B (B Full) motorcycle licences for RM380. Crucially, the account did not mention the requirement for applicants to undergo RTD tests. The comments section of the videos also revealed that users were showing interest in obtaining these services.
