Motorists driving vehicles from Singapore which have received traffic summonses from the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) will be notified at the border between the city-state and Malaysia, according to a social media post by ROADS Singapore. The image posted to the Facebook account depicts a digital display showing the number of saman issued to a vehicle.
Previously, the Malaysian road transport department (JPJ) stated it will be taking enforcement action against Singaporean motorists with outstanding traffic fines in Malaysia from January 1, 2025. According to a report by The Straits Times, Singaporeans accumulated 35,000 summonses between 1990 and June 2024, amounting to RM3.5 million.
In May this year, transport minister Anthony Loke announced that Singapore-registered vehicles entering Malaysia will be required to have a vehicle entry permit (VEP) from October 1.
While no action has been taken against the motorists so far, those who have been issued summonses are urged to settle them before the January 1 deadline. The VEP serves as identification for vehicles entering Malaysia, and this enables authorities to track traffic offences committed by foreign-registered vehicles.
Singaporean motorists entering the two Johor checkpoints at the Sultan Iskandar complex via the Causeway as well as the Sultan Abu Bakar complex via the Second Link are required to obtain a VEP. Without it, they can be denied entry into Johor or be fined up to RM2,000. The VEP system uses a RFID tag issued by the the Malaysian road transport department (JPJ) and costs RM10 each.
Settlement of these summonses can be carried out through MyBayar PDRM or MyEG portals, and foreign nationals can use their passport number to create an account on these portals. Enforcement will be phased from October 1 to December 31, where foreign vehicles with outstanding fines will still be allowed to enter and exit Malaysia. From January 1, 2025 however, full enforcement will be carried out.

Malaysians enforcement satu macam. Got saman & still let them go by saying enforcement only kick in 1 Jan 2025. What kind of practice is this, Ah Loke?
