Singapore motorists that have yet to install the vehicle entry permit (VEP) will still be able to enter Malaysia as usual on October 1, 2024, according to road transport department (JPJ) director-general Aedy Fadly Ramli.
“Singapore private vehicle owners who have not yet gotten their VEP RFID tags will be given a reminder at entry points to register, install and activate their tags immediately,” he said in a statement.
Aedy Fadly added that the department will issue warning notices to Singapore motorists who leave Malaysia without a valid VEP. As of September 25, a total of 62,635 private vehicles from Singapore have had their VEP RFID tags activated.
Beginning October 1 this year, Singapore-registered vehicles entering Malaysia will be required to have a VEP, which will be used for toll payments as well as the RM20 per entry road charge. Those caught without a VEP can be fined up to RM2,000 or imprisoned for up to six months upon conviction.
Recently, the department opened two more installation points in Johor Bahru, including at the Johor JPJ HQ in Taman Daya and the Akademi Pengangkutan Jalan Wilayah Selatan at Jalan Kebun Teh Lama, Larkin.
These will support the existing VEP Collection Centre (VCC) at Danga Bay in increasing capacity to 1,500 cars per day. Singaporean vehicle owners can also request to have the VEP RFID tag shipped to them or self-collect from the information counter located on the third floor of 186 Woodlands Industrial Park E5 – this will cost SGD39 (RM125) on top of the processing fee of RM10.
