Singaporean vehicles entering Malaysia will be required to pay a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) fee of RM20 fee beginning October 1, according to news reports. The VEP – which will be in effect all-day, everyday – will be on imposed on private passenger vehicles entering via the Causeway and the Second Link, and payment can only be made by Touch ‘n Go card.
All vehicles will also need to be registered under the Road Charges (RC) with the JPJ before September 1, failing which they will be refused entry into the country. Vehicle owners will have to pay RM10 for the RC, which is valid for five years.
Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Abdul Aziz Kaprawi said the mandatory registration – which begins online from August 15 – applied to all private vehicles, public buses, taxis, goods vehicles as well as diplomatic cars. He added that government vehicles, motorcycles, public buses and taxis will be exempted from VEP fee, but that they still had to be registered with JPJ.
Upon registration, a radio frequency identification (RFID) card will be issued by JPJ. The tag will need to be renewed upon expiry or when the owner buys a new car, Abdul Aziz said. “Singaporeans will be able to register their vehicles at all the 72 counters in both the Causeway and Second Link as well as R&R areas near the two main entry points. However, we encourage online registration through the RTD website,” he said.
Abdul Aziz told The Star that plans are underway to introduce the VEP system to cover the Malaysia-Thailand border, and that the government is hoping for a mid-2016 roll-out – the VEP fee is likely to be identical at RM20.
On August 1 last year, Singapore increased the VEP for foreign-registered vehicles entering the republic from S$20 (RM55.70) to S$35 (RM97.50) per day, while the Goods Vehicle Permit fee for foreign-registered goods vehicles was revised from S$10 (RM25.70) to S$40 (RM103) per calendar month.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
I have to say this is good…
monitor incoming vehicle from other country is for safety, and also too many syndicates for those transporter.
should be done in Thai border also..
Don’t know much about Johor pupils, if KL pupils including petrol + tolls and paying parking ticket using s’dollars + VEP… buses were the best choice !
Pupils should be in school..
True and as your for knowledge Govt Malaysia treat Rakyat as school students…
Just listen whatever Ministers says, can’t comments and complaints if not as “new DPM say” take action.
Unfortunately in school nowadays its the pupils bullying and stepping on the teachers not the other way around.
So how?
Really then the teacher must lost his relationship with his/her pupils that why pupils “Never Trust” him anymore !!!
What the ?!?! How dare the Malaysian Gov implement such thing to our masterrace overlords across the borders!
As if they dun know 99.99% of Malaysians prefer to hav SG as our Gov! How dare they do this!
If we antagonise them even more, they will find less reason to help us overthrow the useless ministers we have here! We need their help and support now!
We solve our own problem mate.we dont need other countries to solve our problem.i wish you really thought well before giving such comments.
Without foreign funding going into you-know-who, do you think opp hav chance to overthrow? No way in hell! No money no suppork!
Wrong photo lah, photo is Thai border
RM20? What joke is that? Why so low? Especially with the dropping of MYR against SGD, This even cheaper than daily parking expenses in Lion city.
Its not the fee but the registration of cars that are important. Sgp traffic offenders need to be caught before they leave our borders!
YOLO
Stupid mentality… Y so low? Please increase more… Sg use it to control traffic flow… what does Msia use it for? and y Thai border no need to use? Sg does not implement on Malaysia vehicles only, but Msia only implement on Sg vehicles… Sure Sg will impose higher VEP for Msia cars… ultimately those who work in Sg will b the one who suffers…
Wat about those Malaysian PR driving only SGP car allow to cross custom mean they have to sell theIR cars and move to SGP to pay higher rent and cut cost to work and sent bk money to Malaysia and not fogetting away from family… that’s very bad for them and Malaysia borders economic…
I think this is pointless implementation, especially done by JPJ… It probably solves nothing, add to the red tapes, and waste some tax payers’ money on buying some obsolete system that always go offline.
Seriously, how many outstanding saman we have now?? All registered in Malaysia somemore. But outstanding nevertheless…
To sumbat 1MDB longkang :lol:
Alah, make it one time entry 26billion la. 1MDB issue can be resolved in a second!
Wat about those Malaysian PR driving only SGP car allow to cross custom mean they have to sell theIR cars and move to SGP to pay higher rent and cut cost to work and sent bk money to Malaysia and not fogetting away from family… that’s very bad for them and Malaysia borders economic…
