Melaka GP Seminar

Last weekend I have attended the "Melaka GP" Seminar organized by JPV Melaka. The turn out rate is very encouraging. About 150 participants.

The main purpose of this seminar is to explain what is "Melaka GP", what is the regulation we need to follow to get license and what is the different between the "1G" National Guideline and Melaka GP (see picture below).

If you have read 1G guideline before, your BH can be classified as,

1) Existing BH
2) New BH.

For Existing BH, there is no requirement on distance from Residential area. But for New BH in Melaka, you need to have at least 100 meter away from Residential area (1GP only require 50 meter). According to the PBT Melaka officer, if your BH build before 1-July 2010, your BH is classified as Existing BH. 1-July 2010 is the date when the "Melaka GP" booklet print out.

I am not exactly sure how they are going to know your BH build before 1-July 2010. But what I know for sure is that if you want to get your license, the first thing you need to do is quickly register your BH with JPV Melaka before end of this year.

The last thing is the license fee is also quite reasonable. 1 year about RM250 including the license plate. But you need to renew every year :(
