The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has refuted claims made via a social media message that the implementation of the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) for foreign-registered vehicles entering the country will take effect on May 1, Bernama reports.
The viral message urged those intending to bring their foreign-registered vehicle into the country to vote during the upcoming general election next month to register their vehicles from May 1.
The department said via a statement that the system was still at the testing and system validation stage to ensure stability and adequacy of the system before full enforcement could be implemented. “We want to stress that, at present, there is no restriction on vehicles from overseas or Singapore entering without registration of entry permit or VEP,” the statement said.
Earlier this month, it was reported that the VEP system was slated to begin at the end of April. At the Johor entry point, the VEP was supposed to have begun operating last June, with collection of the VEP charge starting from mid-July, but it was postponed.
The system will incorporate a VEP tag that will be fitted with radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology and will integrate a cashless payment system developed by Touch ‘n Go.

Hahahaha..
All could change on the 8th of May as most Malaysians based in sg would return to serve their national duty only to be prevented by those who are afraid to face reality. We have seen it before and will not be surprised if it’s used again.
Anti-fake news act! Prosecute em’ keyboard warriors!
Still testing?
So confusing. Make up your mind…How to be world class leader like this? So undecisive…
It has already been delayed. As usual, most projects by Transport Ministry either delayed or cancelled. They just don’t have the heart & determination to do things in the proper manner. Change the minister….& the government
No donations No change.
if no truth to the rumor, then to avoid further guessing by the public, why dont jpj come out and decisively announce the target date ? or they afraid it will be postpone again ?
