SINGAPORE — Businesses offering Singapore car owners help with applying for Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) tags are seeing more demand for their services, with Malaysia enforcing the requirement since Oct 1.
The VEP allows the Malaysian authorities to identify foreign-registered vehicles, enabling them to track traffic offences and outstanding writs of summons.SINGAPORE — Businesses offering Singapore car owners help with applying for Vehicle Entry Permit tags are seeing more demand for their services, with Malaysia enforcing the requirement since Oct 1.
It is mandatory for Singapore motorists entering Malaysia via its two land borders, at the Causeway and Second Link, to have the VEP from Oct 1. But the application process has been marred by delays and technical issues, resulting in long queues at the VEP collection centres. Singapore car wash company Radiant Wash, which began offering VEP application services in August under Radiant VEP Solutions, is also seeing good business.
When asked about concerns regarding the security of motorists' personal data, Heng said all VEP confirmation slips are issued directly by JPJ and clients can access their JPJ accounts to monitor their applications in real time. "They will have to go through the standard application process of submitting the vehicle owner's particulars up to the installation of the tags, where vehicles owners must be present at the point of collection and fixing of the RFID tags," the spokesperson said.
