The government has agreed to impose a vehicle entry permit (VEP) fee on Singaporean vehicles entering Johor, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has announced, according to a Bernama report. He said the decision was made following a request by the state.
“I ask that the [Johor] state government notify the Road Transport Department (JPJ) on when the move can be implemented,” he said yesterday. “We will decide on the rates to be imposed. Part of the fee collection will be shared with the Johor government.”
According to deputy transport minister Datuk Abdul Aziz Kaprawi, the VEP fee would not apply at border checkpoints in the northern part of the peninsula.
“We are taking a bilateral approach only between Malaysia and Singapore because only Singapore is imposing a VEP charge on Malaysian vehicles and not the other countries,” said Abdul Aziz.
According to Bernama, Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin recently said the Johor government suggested a VEP fee of RM20 (RM5 of which would go to the state government for road maintenance) for Singaporean vehicles entering Malaysia via the Johor Causeway and the Second Link.
Earlier this month, Singapore announced an increased VEP fee of S$35 (RM90) from the current S$20 (RM51.50) on foreign vehicles entering the island republic, effective this August 1 – more details here.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express frustration and concern regarding the RM20 VEP fee for foreign vehicles entering Johor, highlighting it as too low and advocating for increases to protect local economy and infrastructure. Many believe Singaporean vehicles benefit from cheaper petrol and shopping, so higher fees are justified. There's skepticism about the implementation and potential impact on Johor's economy, with some suggesting retaliatory or more strategic fee structures. Overall, sentiments focus on fairness, economic protection, and the need for balanced policies.
