KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia's MyLesen B2 programme has trained more than 25,000 participants in motorcycle riding skills at no cost, bringing the initiative closer to its enrollment targets with an 85 per cent achievement rate.
The training scheme, which provides free instruction and assessment for Category B2 motorcycle licences, has become a significant component of the government's push to enhance road safety and rider competency across the country. The programme reflects growing recognition of the importance of structured training in reducing traffic incidents involving motorcyclists.
The MyLesen B2 initiative offers standardised training modules designed to equip riders with essential safety practices and technical skills before obtaining their motorcycle licence. Officials credit the programme's accessibility and zero-cost structure for driving participation rates among Malaysian road users.
With 25,464 participants having completed the training component, the scheme continues to expand its reach across different states and demographics. The strong uptake suggests sustained demand for structured rider education and indicates potential for the programme to exceed its current targets as enrollment continues.
The government has positioned the MyLesen B2 scheme as part of broader road safety improvements, complementing existing licensing and enforcement measures aimed at reducing motorcycle-related accidents and fatalities on Malaysian roads.
