The Transport Minister said motorists who incur traffic fines should settle them before leaving Johor.
The Vehicle Entry Permit will be enforced on foreign vehicles entering Malaysia from Oct 1, said Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke on June 25, who added that authorities will not backtrack on the enforcement.
Foreign vehicle owners will be required to register, install and activate their VEP-radio frequency identification tags. Without a valid VEP, which operates as an “identity card” for foreign vehicles in Malaysia, motorists risk being denied entry to Johor or a fine of up to RM2,000 . The Malaysian government will be able to use the VEPs to track the traffic records, including summonses and offences of foreign-registered vehicles, he said.
“The message is very clear. I hope the Singaporean drivers who come regularly to Malaysia will follow our laws and regulations,” Mr Loke said.
