Companies are charging up to $168 to help car owners apply for vehicle entry permits to enter Malaysia.
The VEP allows the Malaysian authorities to identify foreign-registered vehicles, enabling them to track traffic offences and outstanding writs of summons.
JPJ on its website says that “representatives” are allowed to do the registrations on behalf of vehicle owners, as long as they “ensure that the information provided is true and accurate”.Malaysia says that for now, cars from Singapore can still enter Johor without a permit. However, those who have not applied for a VEP will be issued a written warning.
Singapore car wash company Radiant Wash, which began offering VEP application services in August under Radiant VEP Solutions, is also seeing good business. But there are cases where users seek assistance through a representative, which is allowed as per the JPJ’s standard operating procedure.
