JOHOR BAHRU: From Nov 15, foreign vehicle owners or drivers – including those from Singapore who have not obtained or activated a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) – will be prohibited from leaving Malaysia until all outstanding fines are cleared.
This comes amid stepped-up VEP enforcement measures in Malaysia that extends beyond Johor to other parts of the country, said Malaysia’s Road Transport Department (JPJ).
“Previously, our operations were confined to Johor, but they are now being expanded nationwide. Any Singapore-registered vehicle found without a VEP anywhere in Malaysia will be subject to the same enforcement action,” JPJ’s director-general Aedy Fadly Ramli was quoted as saying by news agency Benama on Saturday (Nov 1).
He warned that the full enforcement will cover both privately owned vehicles and company-owned private vehicles that either lack a VEP, have an expired VEP, or remain in the pre-registration status.
