Section 36

Where the Director General has reason to believe that a person whose licence has at any time been suspended under subsection (1)

continues or has not ceased to be a drug dependant at any time after the period of suspension, the Director General shall disqualify such person from holding or obtaining a driving licence.

60 Laws of Malaysia ACT 333

For the purposes of this section, a police officer, road transport officer or Rehabilitation Officer shall, upon the arrest or voluntary surrender of any person suspected to be a drug dependant, detain any driving licence belonging to such person until such person is certified as a drug dependant.

Upon a government medical practitioner certifying that such person is a drug dependant, the police officer, road transport officer or

Rehabilitation Officer shall, within a period of two weeks, so notify and deliver the driving licence to the Director General who shall inform the drug dependant in writing of the intention to suspend or disqualify.

Subsection (3) and the provisions of subsection (4) in relation to the delivery of a driving licence detained under subsection (3) shall not apply to a driving licence incorporated in a multipurpose electronic card or device.

The suspension or disqualification shall take effect on the date such person is certified as a drug dependant.

If a person satisfies the Director General that he is no longer a drug dependant, the Director General shall remove the suspension or disqualification, as the case may be, and return to such person any driving licence detained under this section.

In this section, “drug dependant” and “Rehabilitation Officer”

shall have the same meaning as in the Drug Dependants (Treatment and Rehabilitation) Act 1983 [Act 283].
