OKU Sticker For Vehicles: A Guide To Obtaining Them For Those Who Truly Need It

After viewing the video that showed a selfish driver hogging an OKU spot in Shah Alam, we thought we would do our best to ensure that OKUs in Malaysia know of their rights to obtain the special sticker to be placed on their vehicles, notifying other motorists on the road as well as allow them to access to utilise specially designated parking spots.

Even if you’re not an OKU, this guide on how to obtain the special OKU vehicle sticker also serves as an education purpose for if and when you need to help someone who is an OKU. It is adapted from the Road Transport Department Malaysia.
