Malaysia to fully enforce VEP from Jul 1, non-compliant foreign motorists to get US$70 fine
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will start issuing summons of RM300 (US$70.65) to foreign vehicles without Vehicle Entry Permits (VEP) at its land borders with Singapore from Jul 1, Malaysia's Transport Ministry said on Wednesday (Jun 4). 'From this date, summonses will be issued to foreign vehicle owners who have not registered or activated VEP,' the ministry said. For private individual vehicles without a valid VEP, the summons must be paid and VEP registration completed before exiting Malaysia. Private individual vehicles with pre-registered but unactivated VEPs will be issued summons, and payment must also be made before exiting Malaysia, the ministry said. The ramping up of enforcement takes place nine months after Malaysia began requiring all foreign-registered vehicles entering the country by land from Singapore to use VEPs on Oct 1 last year. Transport Minister Anthony Loke had said last December that his ministry would announce a full implementation of the scheme when ready. The transport ministry said as of Wednesday, a total of 231,018 VEP tags have been issued to private individual vehicles, of which 194,507 have been installed and activated. It said 36,511 of the tags have not been activated. A total of 2,660 VEP tags have been installed and activated for private company vehicles, it said. The VEP is a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag used to track foreign vehicles and note if their drivers have outstanding fines on traffic offences in Malaysia. Between 1990 and June 2024, Singapore motorists racked up more than 35,000 unpaid summonses, totalling RM3.5 million, Malaysia police previously said. Loke's latest announcement marks the end of a grace period where motorists who had yet to apply for the VEP were given warning notices. Malaysia announced last May that all foreign-registered vehicles entering the country by land from Singapore would be required to use VEPs from October 2024. Following the announcement, Singapore drivers scrambled to register their cars under the VEP scheme, creating a bottleneck in applications as many expressed frustration over delays in getting their radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. Four days before the start of the VEP enforcement, JPJ announced that it would be "executed in phases", and that Singapore cars yet to install VEP tags by the Oct 1 deadline would still be allowed to enter Malaysia. The Malaysia government had previously said that motorists who fail to install a VEP may be fined up to RM2,000 or jailed for up to six months.
