00:00The My Lesson Programme is an initiative under the Ministry of National Development of Malaysia
00:12where the government pays a cost to provide free lessons to participants from the B40 group.
00:22This year, more than 35,000 participants have received their lessons.
00:31Because in every country, we urge every JBJ to conduct this training.
00:39Ensure that this programme runs smoothly.
00:43As I said earlier, almost 2,400 participants have conducted various training and tests.
00:57They have also received lessons to ride a motorcycle, the B2,
01:04and some have received a PSV for a bus and a GDL for a lorry.
01:10This programme is to improve the social economy of the people.
01:14First, we help the low-income groups to get lessons.
01:24We know that many of the 16-year-olds use motorcycles to go to school.
01:33For the B40 group, we help them get lessons.
01:38We know that many of the 16-year-olds ride a motorcycle without a license.
01:45This may be due to various factors, such as the lack of ability of their families.
01:51So this programme is to help them get a license.
01:54At the same time, we also help the B40 group to get a PSV and a GDL license.
02:02GDL is a big expense.
02:06To get a GDL license for a lorry, it usually costs between RM3,000 and RM4,000 at the driver's institute.
02:14So with this programme, the government pays the cost and they get a GDL license.
02:20When they get a GDL license, they can get a job at logistics and transportation companies.
02:26This will give them a reasonable salary.
02:33If they have a GDL license, they can get a reasonable salary as a lorry driver.
02:43So this programme will continue next year.
02:47The Ministry of Transport will continue this programme
02:52and ensure that this initiative will continue to benefit the people.
03:01We are doing our best.
03:03We have been given a grant for this programme.
03:07We are trying to find an initiative and ensure that the same amount can be benefited.
03:15Even though the grant may increase next year.
03:20We will ensure that the same amount can be benefited.
03:27If there are additional grants for this programme, we will add them.
03:36This programme is flexible because we have special grants for this programme.
03:42But for other programmes, if there are additional grants, we will add them.
03:49This programme has a high demand.
03:53As I said earlier, we have received more than 100,000 applications for 2024.
03:59But we only have applications for 35,000 people.
04:04And of course, when there are applications, we have to meet the requirements.
04:10So most of the applicants do not meet the requirements?
04:14Yes, of course.
04:15Maybe because of their income, they exceed the requirements.
04:20And we also have to see if they have a record or not.
04:24Because we want to ensure that they are clear of any record of violations.
04:30So that is one of the requirements.
04:33Especially for the PSB and GDL programmes.
04:37They must be clear of any violations.
04:46Almost 90%.
04:48As I said earlier, we have allocated 35,000 applications for this year.
04:52So far, almost 30,000 have been completed.
04:55So in the next two months, we will try to complete all of them.
04:59How many applicants have you received?
05:04More than half.
05:09Yes, we do hope to give more applicants.
05:15But we do not have a condition that we will not give more applicants if they are of the same age as us.
05:21As I saw earlier, one of the applicants is 60 years old.
05:28More than 50 years old.
05:31So there are applicants.
05:33But I was surprised.
05:35There are still applicants who are 50-60 years old and do not have a license.
05:40Meaning that they have never had a license before.
05:42Especially for B2.
05:44Because many of them usually have a car license.
05:50They do not have a motorcycle license.
05:52So they took the opportunity from this programme to get a B2 license.
05:57But our goal is to help them.
