Malaysia will start implementing its Vehicle Entry Permit policy on Tuesday. CNA unpacks what VEP is about as well as what Singapore drivers can expect.
However, the statement did not mention if drivers already issued with a warning notice could re-enter Johor without a VEP. Once it is activated and the e-wallet has been topped up, drivers can pay road charge and toll via their RFID tags at the RFID lane at toll booths instead of physically tapping with their TouchNGo cards.The RFID sensor at these booths would detect the tags and automatically deduct the amount required, and the barrier gate would then open.The VEP system can also be used by Malaysian authorities to track foreign-registered cars who have not paid fines for traffic offences.
Drivers can opt to receive the RFID tags by post but many prefer to have them installed at authorised centres, resulting in long queues.All VEP applicants should have their NRIC, passport, vehicle road tax, insurance, car model and COE details ready.Once the application is approved, drivers will receive an email notification to choose a method of collecting the VEP RFID tag – either couriered by post to your address, or self-collection at one of the four VEP collection centres.
Once attached, drivers should snap a photo of the tag with your car registration number in the frame and upload the image on the VEP portal. The Johor State Road Transport Department Complex in Taman Daya uses a drive-thru concept to speed up the process. The centre can handle about 800 cars daily. Malaysian authorities said then that the purpose of the VEP was to tackle car theft and cloning syndicates, and prevent vehicles from leaving the country without paying fines for traffic offences.
