00:00Teething problems, including long queues at collection centres for vehicle entry permit
00:05and vehicle owners not able to meet the October 1st deadline, have prompted Johor Mentri
00:11Besar Datuk On Hafiz Ghazi to act.
00:14He visited one of the collection centres in Dangga Bay, trying to help resolve the issues
00:20and speed up the process.
00:25On Hafiz questioned why it was late to set up a tent for those waiting in line outside
00:30the collection centre.
00:32He told the person in charge of the centre not to delay as it affected the image of Johor.
00:38He questioned why vehicle owners did not receive a reply for emails they had sent to the authorities.
00:44Motorists struggling to secure the VEP appeal to the Transport Ministry to defer the implementation
00:50date and improve the application process first.
00:54Singapore Transport Department Director-General Datuk Ayyedi Fadli Ramli on Friday said in
00:59the first phase of the implementation, all Singaporean foreign vehicles without a VEP
01:06can still enter Malaysia as usual.
01:08He said enforcement for foreign registered vehicles will begin on October 1st in phases.
01:14He said the vehicle owners will be reminded at entry points to activate the Radio Frequency
01:19Identification VEP tag.
01:22He said warning notices will be issued to the vehicle owners if they have yet to obtain
01:27the VEP.
01:29As of September 25th, some 62,635 private vehicles from Singapore have activated the
01:37RFID tag for VEP.
01:40Starting from October 1st, those without VEP can be fined up to RM2,000 or imprisoned
01:47for up to six months upon conviction.
