All foreign vehicles entering Malaysia by land from Singapore will be required to have a valid VEP from Oct 1.The Vehicle Entry Permit requirement will be enforced on foreign vehicles entering Malaysia from Oct 1, Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke said on June 25. He added that the authorities will not backtrack on the enforcement.

Foreign vehicle owners will be required to register, install and activate their VEP-radio frequency identification tags. The tag will allow motorists to pay the RM20 road charge when they enter Johor via both checkpoints, as well as the toll fees on Malaysia’s expressways using the designated RFID lanes.

Mr Loke said on June 25 that the process to obtain the VEP has been simplified, with the option to have the RFID tag delivered to applicants’ homes so they do not have to go to Johor for collection, although that option is still available. “The message is very clear. I hope the Singaporean drivers who come regularly to Malaysia will follow our laws and regulations,” Mr Loke said.
