Malaysia Postpones VEP Enforcement; Singapore Vehicles Can Still Enter Without Tag After October 1
Malaysian authorities have announced a delay in the enforcement of the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) for foreign-registered vehicles entering from Singapore. Starting October 1, vehicles without the VEP tag will still be permitted entry, but drivers will receive a reminder to install the tag before they leave Malaysia, according to Malaysia’s Road Transport Department (JPJ).
Phased Execution of VEP Enforcement
Originally set for full enforcement on October 1, the VEP requirement will now be “executed in phases,” said the JPJ in a statement released on September 27. Singaporean drivers who have yet to register and install their VEP tags will be issued a warning notice when exiting Malaysia, urging them to complete the process as soon as possible.
Vehicles Without VEP Tags Can Enter Malaysia as Usual
Despite the postponement, drivers of Singapore-registered vehicles will be able to enter Malaysia without a VEP tag. However, they are encouraged to promptly register and activate their radio frequency identification (RFID) tags to avoid future complications when full enforcement is implemented.
