M'sia To Enforce VEP Rules In October

May 28, 2024

Vehicle Entry Permit rules along the border with Singapore will be fully enforced starting October 1st.  

Once it happens, foreign-registered vehicles entering Malaysia from Singapore must use Vehicle Entry Permit RFID tags.  

The Transport Minister says those who fail to comply could face a compound, or a maximum penalty of a RM2,000 fine and 6 months in prison.  

He adds that currently, 70,000, out of 200,000 Singapore-registered vehicles have already activated the tags. 

The VEP RFID tags are available for just RM10, with a validity period of 5 years.
