Why Every Malaysian Car Needs a Proper Road Tax Holder in 2026
If you drive in Malaysia, you already know the drill: your road tax disc (cukai jalan) must be displayed on your windscreen at all times. JPJ enforcement officers check for it at roadblocks, and Puspakom inspectors look for it during vehicle inspections. A missing or illegible road tax can land you a fine of up to RM300.
What many drivers do not realise is that JPJ updated the road tax sticker size in 2024. The new format is slightly larger than the old version, which means your old holder might not fit properly. If you are still using a holder from before 2024 — or worse, just sticking the disc directly onto the windscreen — it is time for an upgrade.
A proper acrylic road tax holder (pemegang road tax) does three things: it protects your road tax from sun damage and fading, it keeps your windscreen clean when you need to swap out the disc every 6 or 12 months, and it looks significantly better than a bare sticker on glass. For drivers with heavily tinted windscreens — which is practically everyone in Malaysia — a holder also makes it easier for enforcement to read the details from outside.
In this guide, we cover every type of road tax holder, RFID holder, e-hailing sign, and car number plate available at UMAKE — all laser-cut acrylic, all made at our factory in Balakong, Selangor.
Types of Road Tax Holders at UMAKE
We manufacture six distinct types of acrylic road tax holders, each designed for a specific need. All holders fit the 2024 new JPJ road tax size and come with a free suction cup for windscreen mounting.
1. Standard Acrylic Road Tax Holder (2024 New Size)
This is our best-selling road tax holder and the one most Malaysian drivers need. It is precision laser-cut from clear acrylic to fit the new 2024 JPJ road tax dimensions exactly. The holder comes with a strong suction cup that grips your windscreen securely — even on tinted glass.
Key features:
- Fits 2024 new JPJ road tax size perfectly
- Clear acrylic — road tax details visible from outside
- Free suction cup included (replaceable)
- Available in multiple colour borders
- Easy slide-in design for annual renewal swap

2. Islamic Design Road Tax Holder (Doa Naik Kendaraan)
For Muslim drivers, this holder combines function with faith. The acrylic frame features a beautifully laser-engraved doa naik kendaraan (the prayer for safe travel) alongside the road tax slot. Every time you glance at your windscreen, you see the prayer — a constant reminder for safe driving on Malaysian roads.
Key features:
- Laser-engraved doa naik kendaraan in Arabic calligraphy
- Fits 2024 new JPJ road tax size
- Premium matte or gloss acrylic finish
- Popular as a gift for new car owners, Hari Raya, and weddings
- Free suction cup included

3. RFID + Road Tax 2-in-1 Combo Holder
This is the smartest holder for Malaysian drivers who use toll highways daily. Instead of having your TNG RFID sticker permanently stuck to the windscreen and a separate road tax holder next to it, this 2-in-1 combo holder keeps both in a single clean frame. The RFID tag sits in the top slot where the toll gantry scanner can read it, while the road tax slides into the bottom slot.
Why drivers love this:
- Combines RFID tag + road tax in one neat holder
- No need to permanently stick the RFID tag to your windscreen
- Easy to transfer between cars (great for families sharing RFID tags)
- Works with Plus highway, DUKE, SUKE, LDP, KESAS, and all Malaysian toll plazas
- Fits 2024 JPJ road tax size + standard TNG RFID tag

4. Colour-Changing Acrylic Road Tax Holder
Want your road tax holder to stand out? This holder uses special colour-shifting acrylic that changes hue depending on the angle of light. Under normal daylight it looks one colour; tilt it and it shifts to another. It is a subtle but eye-catching upgrade that makes your dashboard look premium.
Key features:
- Colour-shifting acrylic (multiple colour options available)
- Fits 2024 new JPJ road tax size
- Same durability as standard acrylic — UV-resistant
- Free suction cup included
- Popular among car enthusiasts and JDM community

5. Thick 6mm Road Tax Holder (Premium)
Our standard holders use 3mm acrylic, but the 6mm thick version is for drivers who want something that feels truly solid and premium. The extra thickness gives it a substantial feel and added rigidity — it will not flex or bend, even in the hottest Malaysian afternoon heat. Comes with all the same features: suction cup, 2024 JPJ size compatibility, and clean laser-cut edges.

6. Puspakom / Commercial Vehicle Holder
Commercial vehicles, lorries, and fleet vehicles have different requirements. Puspakom inspection stickers are a different size from standard road tax, and commercial vehicles often need to display multiple documents. Our commercial holder is sized to accommodate Puspakom stickers and the standard road tax side by side. Built from thicker acrylic for durability in rough working conditions.
RFID Holders for TNG RFID & Smart Tag
The TNG RFID tag is now the standard for Malaysian toll payments. Touch 'n Go designed the RFID sticker to be permanently stuck to your windscreen — but what if you want to transfer it between cars, or your windscreen tint is too dark for the adhesive to grip properly?
Our RFID holder with suction cup solves both problems. The RFID tag sits inside a slim acrylic frame that attaches to your windscreen via suction cup. You can move it between vehicles in seconds, and the suction cup works even on heavily tinted windscreens where the original RFID adhesive fails.
Compatible with:
- Touch 'n Go (TNG) RFID tag sticker
- Smart Tag devices
- All Malaysian toll plazas: Plus, DUKE, SUKE, LDP, KESAS, SPRINT, MEX, NPE
Tinted windscreen tip: If your windscreen tint is 50% or darker, the original RFID adhesive sticker often fails to scan at toll gantries. Our suction cup holder positions the tag flat against the glass at the optimal angle for the scanner, solving the "RFID not detected" problem that many Malaysian drivers face.

E-Hailing & Car Signs
If you drive for Grab, inDrive, Maxim, or any e-hailing platform in Malaysia, JPJ requires you to display an official e-hailing sign on your windscreen. Non-compliance can result in fines during JPJ operations — which have become more frequent in 2025-2026, especially in KL, Selangor, and Johor.
Our acrylic e-hailing signs are:
- JPJ-compliant size and format — meets the official specification
- Transparent acrylic — does not obstruct your view
- Suction cup mounted — easy to remove when you are not driving e-hailing
- Sold as a set of 2 pieces — front and rear windscreen
Other Car Signs Available
Beyond e-hailing, we manufacture a full range of acrylic car signs:
- P License sign (Probationary) — required by JPJ for all P license holders. Our acrylic version is far more durable than the paper versions that fade within weeks.
- Baby on Board sign — laser-cut acrylic with suction cup. Much sturdier than vinyl stickers and can be removed easily.
- No Smoking sign (KKM) — required by the Ministry of Health (KKM) regulations for commercial and e-hailing vehicles.
- Student Driver sign — clear, visible acrylic sign for driving school vehicles or learner drivers.
- Disabled (OKU) parking sign — durable acrylic version for display on dashboard.
Car Number Plates
While you are upgrading your road tax holder, consider upgrading your car number plate (nombor plate kereta) too. Our 3D crystal acrylic number plates are a popular choice among Malaysian car owners who want their vehicle to look premium without spending thousands.
What makes our number plates different:
- 6mm thick acrylic — substantially thicker than standard 3mm plates, giving a solid 3D crystal effect
- Laser-cut precision — clean, sharp edges on every character
- JPJ-compliant font and sizing — meets Malaysian road transport regulations
- UV-resistant — will not yellow or fade under Malaysian sun
- Available in standard white and custom colours
We also offer 2D flat acrylic number plates for drivers who prefer a sleeker, more understated look.

How to Choose the Right Road Tax Holder
With so many options, here is a simple decision guide:
Tinted vs Non-Tinted Windscreen
Most Malaysian cars have windscreen tinting. If your tint is light (70-80% VLT), any holder will work fine. If your tint is dark (below 50% VLT), pay attention to two things:
- Choose a clear acrylic holder (not coloured) so the road tax remains readable from outside
- For RFID, use our suction cup RFID holder — the original adhesive RFID sticker often fails on dark tint
Suction Cup vs Adhesive Mounting
All our holders use suction cup mounting, and here is why we recommend it over adhesive:
- Removable: You can take it off when selling the car or switching holders
- No residue: Adhesive leaves sticky marks on your windscreen that are difficult to remove
- Repositionable: You can move it to the best spot on your windscreen
- Replacement available: If the suction cup weakens after 1-2 years, just replace the cup — not the entire holder
Pro tip: Clean the windscreen area with rubbing alcohol before attaching the suction cup. Press firmly for 10 seconds. This gives you the strongest possible grip, especially on tinted glass.
Single vs Combo Holder
If you use toll highways daily (PLUS, DUKE, LDP, SUKE, etc.), the RFID + Road Tax 2-in-1 holder is the smartest choice — it keeps your windscreen clean with just one item instead of two. If you only drive in the city and rarely use toll roads, the standard road tax holder is all you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the new JPJ road tax in 2024/2025/2026?
JPJ updated the road tax sticker format in 2024. The new size is slightly larger than the pre-2024 version. All UMAKE road tax holders manufactured from 2024 onwards are designed to fit the new JPJ dimensions. If you have an older holder that does not fit, it is time to upgrade.
How do I install the road tax holder on my windscreen?
Step 1: Clean the windscreen area with rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner. Step 2: Moisten the suction cup slightly. Step 3: Press the suction cup firmly against the glass for 10 seconds. Step 4: Slide your road tax disc into the holder. The entire process takes less than 2 minutes. For tinted windscreens, press extra firmly to ensure a strong seal.
Will the suction cup work on tinted windscreens?
Yes. Our suction cups are designed to grip tinted glass. The key is to clean the area thoroughly before attaching. For very dark tints (below 30% VLT), we recommend the heavy-duty suction cup upgrade, which provides extra holding strength. The suction cup works on all major tint brands used in Malaysia.
Can I use the RFID holder on a tinted windscreen?
Yes — this is actually one of the main reasons drivers buy our RFID holder. The original TNG RFID adhesive sticker often has scanning issues on heavily tinted windscreens. Our suction cup RFID holder positions the tag flat against the glass at the correct angle, improving scan reliability at toll gantries on Plus, DUKE, LDP, and other highways.
Do e-hailing drivers need to display a JPJ sign?
Yes. JPJ requires all registered e-hailing drivers (Grab, inDrive, Maxim, etc.) to display an official e-hailing identification sign on the windscreen. JPJ conducts regular enforcement operations, especially in KL, Selangor, Penang, and Johor. Our acrylic e-hailing signs meet the JPJ specification and come in a set of 2 (front and rear).
How long does an acrylic road tax holder last?
The acrylic holder itself lasts 5-10 years under normal conditions. It is UV-resistant and will not crack or yellow quickly. The suction cup typically lasts 1-2 years before it may need replacing — we sell replacement suction cups separately. The colour-changing variant has the same lifespan as standard acrylic.
Do you ship to East Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak)?
Yes, we ship nationwide to all 13 states and 3 federal territories. Peninsular Malaysia orders typically arrive in 1-3 business days. East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak) takes 3-7 business days. Free shipping applies for orders above RM15 to Peninsular Malaysia.
Can I order in bulk for my driving school or e-hailing fleet?
Absolutely. We regularly supply driving schools, e-hailing fleets, car accessory shops, and Shopee/Lazada sellers across Malaysia. Bulk discounts are available starting from 50 pieces. WhatsApp us at 017-929 0938 with your requirements and we will quote you within the same day.
