Singapore drivers who have not yet installed Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) tags will continue to receive warning notices instead of fines, Malaysia's Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced. He confirmed that the full enforcement of the VEP scheme is still pending and no date has been set. While drivers are urged to complete their VEP registration, Loke clarified that the warning notice system is a temporary arrangement.
Singapore drivers who still face issues with their VEP applications told CNA that they are concerned the Malaysia n authorities would implement enforcement prematurely.New: You can now listen to articles.
“We are giving notices to drivers who have yet to apply for the VEP, but that is for the time-being. That is still the case right now,” Loke said while urging drivers to complete their registration for the VEP. It had warned that foreign drivers with unpaid fines may be denied entry into Malaysia and in extreme cases, their vehicles may be impounded by the authorities there.

“It would not be fair if the government enforces the payment of fines when many Singapore drivers are still facing issues getting their tags and installing them,” he added. However, some drivers continued to face issues in the application process, and expressed concern that potential enforcement could be implemented prematurely.
