JOHOR BARU: Effective Nov 15, foreign vehicle owners or drivers, especially 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, said Road Transport Department (JPJ) director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli.<\/p>\n
He stated 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 pre-registration status.<\/p>\n
“Fines will be imposed, and vehicle owners must settle them and complete VEP registration before departing Malaysia. This measure is intended to prevent any complications at the Malaysia-Singapore border,\u201d he said at a press conference after inspecting the VEP Special Enforcement Operation at the Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI) exit here last night.<\/p>\n
He added that fines can be settled at JPJ office counters, mobile JPJ counters, the VEP registration counter at Danga Bay, or online through myEG.<\/p>\n
He said that previously, enforcement involved issuing foreign vehicle drivers or owners with summons and warning notices, but the time has now come to implement full-scale enforcement.<\/p>\n
“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 enforcement action,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said that since VEP enforcement began on July 1, a total of 303,183 Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags have been installed on privately owned vehicles, while an additional 31,643 tags have been fitted to company-owned vehicles.<\/p>\n
During the same period, authorities inspected 55,486 vehicles and issued 4,028 fines to owners without a VEP, totalling RM1.2mil, he added. – Bernama<\/p>\n
