Malaysia 's Road Transport Department says enforcement operations have begun and drivers without VEP s are given reminders on the LED screens adjacent to immigration booths.
In addition, drivers who have received a warning may continue to make subsequent trips into Johor, a senior official from Malaysia’s Road Transport Department who heads its operations in Johor told CNA. Technician Ridhuan Abdullah was also pleasantly surprised by the light traffic at the Causeway and took only 15 minutes to clear immigration on both sides.“I did not receive and the traffic is smoother than normal. It’s possible some drivers are and adopt a wait-and-see approach before they drive in,” added the 42-year-old.
The post also featured senior officials, including the senior director of its operations department Kifli Hassan, surveying the enforcement operations. The JPJ also posted a screenshot of what appeared to be an internal phone application with data on whether a car had registered for the VEP and the number of warnings it had been issued.At the centre in Danga Bay, operated by transport vendor TCSens, there were roughly 40 drivers collecting their tags or making enquiries. When CNA visited the centre two weeks ago, there were at least 100 people, including a long line of drivers waiting for a queue number.
“Back in 2017 when they were trialling the RFID tag, the system would malfunction all the time ... it's better these days,” he said.
