  "summary": "The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has cautioned Malaysians against the authenticity of a TikTok advertisement promising driving licences without a driving test. In a statement released today, JPJ expressed its disapproval of the advertisement, which was allegedly posted under the username ‘Ahmad Mushidi’. The department emphasized that both the advertisement and the account are fraudulent. As a result, JPJ has reported the matter to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for further investigation. The public is strongly urged not to fall for such unverified promotions, as they could lead to confusion and financial losses. JPJ advises that all information about its services should be obtained only through its official platforms to ensure accuracy and legitimacy.",
