Almost 1,500 drivers fined over VEP issues
JOHOR BARU: A total of 1,489 summonses have been issued to motorists driving foreign-registered vehicles into Johor without a valid Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP). The summonses, involving compounds worth RM445,800, were issued between July 1 and Aug 2 during Ops Penguatkuasaan VEP. Road Transport Department (JPJ) senior enforcement director Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan said the operation was conducted at key entry points – Bangunan Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine complex and the Sultan Abu Bakar Complex in Gelang Patah – and various locations in the city. 'A total of 14,379 vehicles were inspected. Drivers found without a valid VEP were fined on the spot,' he told a press conference on Sunday night. Despite the number of offences, Muhammad Kifli said compliance among Singaporean private vehicle owners was encouraging. 'Based on our checks, nearly 90% of Singaporean vehicles have complied with the ruling by registering and activating their VEP RFID tags,' he said. As of July 31, a total of 277,930 tags had been issued to Singaporean vehicle owners. Muhammad Kifli reminded all foreign motorists to register, install and activate their VEP RFID tags before entering Malaysia to avoid enforcement action. 'Under Section 66H(7) of the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333), it is an offence for any foreign-registered vehicle to enter or be in Malaysia without a valid permit,' he said. Muhammad Kifli said JPJ would not compromise with any party found flouting Malaysian road regulations, adding that the operation is ongoing to uphold the integrity of the nation's transport system and ensure road safety for all users.
