According to the Road Transport Department (JPJ), the development process of the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) system is progressing well and is almost completed.
JPJ public relations office Mohamad Sazali Baharudin told The Sun that the system would be ready in time for its implementation. An official announcement on the VEP system is not expected to be made until July or August this year.
“Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai, or his deputy, will make the official announcement when it is truly ready,” said Baharudin. Earlier reports indicated that the system would become operational in June, according to the Johor state government.
The VEP system will be rolled out in three phases. The first involves vehicles entering from Singapore, which will be implemented in a few months time. Phase two involves vehicles entering Malaysia from Thailand. Finally, phase three will be for vehicles from Brunei and Indonesia entering Sabah and Sarawak.
With its implementation, foreign vehicles will be required to register under the Road Charges (RC) with the JPJ for a fee of RM10, with a five-year validity. They will be issued a radio frequency identification (RFID) card that will record details of vehicle owners (entrance in and out of the country).
The system will also allow the authorities to monitor overstaying foreigners and curb cloning of vehicles. Additionally, foreign vehicles that are compounded within Malaysia will be barred from returning to their home countries until the summons are settled.
Deputy transport minister Datuk Ab Aziz Kaprawi said the system would see a RM20 charge per entry for each foreign vehicle.

Bodoh government. Singapore charge Malaysians so high VEP but we charge Singapore cars so low VEP.
Somemore, their currency is 3x Ringgit. The VEP to them is kacang puteh.
Our government is so bodoh, they don’t even know how to make more money from a simle business plan. Even if you charge RM100 VEP to Singapore cars, they will still come to JB to fill up petrol and do their shopping every week without fail
don’t worry… our govt not organised enough to even collect money. look at all the fine owing… beg people pay with dishing out discount also our govt given the finger
Aiyooooo..lu very stupid maaaa…Malaysia people for work at Singapore..must win2 stuation. The people Singapore come to Malaysia to shopping and holiday
Ever wonder how SG goment will react if we charge high VEP to their people? They will charge the same charges to Msian.. So, later u will still say our goment stupik..
You think by bashing the government here make any sense? You think those Ministers come and read all comments here? Be realistic la.. Only talk cock here be like a keyboard warrior is useless. There must be a reason why the government implement such amount of money. What makes you think government has to londehkan all the information to public? When minister ask you to leave the country, you will be mad. It same concept if your kids doesnt like the way you handle things, you will definitely ask him to leave and move on with his/her own life. Dont be bangang tak bertempat.
Apesal mau cepat sngt nak deploy? Makan la nasi lemak dulu.. Tido, bangun lagi makan nasi lemak… Jgn la susah kan diri kamu tu!
Pity JB folks. Because Singaporeans are coming in by the drones, cost of living in JB is the highest in Malaysia.
But our Government is so bodoh. Charge RM20 per car coming in. That is SG$6 for a Singaporean. Just enough to buy Fanta Grape in a restaurant.
Our bodoh government should charge more to the rich Singaporean and use the money to help the poor people in JB with housing.
Already JB Iskandar sell themselves completely to Singapore, JB residents cannot afford any housing.
Greedy government
Pity u dun see the effects of chasing us SG pipu away from JB. I feel sorry our “benevolent” eternally dictatorial PAP punya anak luar nikah DAP has such supporters like u.
Buat apa bangun John? Balik tidur bang, jangan bimbang. Boleh rilak dan tidur sepanjang hari
Bangun pagi, gosok gigi,
Buka PT, pakai PC,
baca comment bodo, kerana bashers bodo,
Gelak ketawa, hentam semua,
Hari saya, gembira.
Lets see, I am still seeing wires hanging at each of the counters..
Again, they will get it up and running, then announce “VEP effective next week”. Singaporean cars have no time to get chip in order, havoc ensured. Johorians suffer from lack of Singaporean customers, everyone complain, implementation delayed and put on hold.
id rather see another bridge build first , sometimes the jam looks very uncivilized
That is very crooked
This is a step in the right direction. Malaysia has talked about VEP for a long time but have not actually done anything. Singapore introduced VEP more than 40 years ago.
