Brigadier General Pol Yusri Yunus, the Director of Regional Traffic Corps of the National Police, stated, “One of the requirements for obtaining a SIM is the administrative requirement to have a driving certification.” This emphasizes the importance of proper driving education and training in ensuring road safety.
