00:00So, of course, we take feedback from the users and from the applicants, so we know some of
00:11these issues.
00:12So, of course, we cannot, we are not in, what do you call it, we do not reply to each particular
00:17complaint or e-mails, but we track the e-mails and we know what are the issues.
00:23So we will use approach where we can solve all the problems once together, so that we
00:27do not have to reply to each and particular complaint.
00:30So once we ratify that, we will make some announcement later and our land division,
00:38Belkan Darat and also JPG, are working on this.
00:42So I will personally look into this and I will go down to JB to make some inspection
00:47and we will make some announcement soon in terms of some of the penambaikan.
00:52So let's assure that we will try to facilitate, but do not expect a U-turn.
00:59I want to send this message very clearly to the Singapore media also, because I think
01:03that we are not serious in this.
01:05There will be no U-turn, 1st of October, it will be enforced.
01:10So the message is very, very clear.
01:12I hope the Singaporean drivers who come in regularly to Malaysia, we welcome them, but
01:17they have to follow our laws and regulations.
01:19Drivers like Malaysian cars going into Singapore, we have to abide by their laws and regulations.
01:25They are expected to follow the same rules and same regulations.
01:30They have to abide.
01:31They come in, if you speak, you have to pay the summons.
01:36So right now, without VEP, a lot of cars, some of them with a lot of summonses and offences,
01:44there's no way for us to track and no way for us to enforce.
01:47So once VEP kicks in, anyone, any foreign cars coming into Malaysia, if they violated
01:53our laws, then they have to pay the fines before they leave the country.
01:59That is the message.
02:00There will be no U-turn, 1st of October, it will be enforced.
