The Straits Times
|October 22, 2025
Almost 4,000 Singapore drivers have been fined for failing to possess a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) tag when entering Malaysia, since enforcement began on July 1.
Between July 1 and Oct 20, there were 3,910 writs of summons worth a total of RM1.173 million (S$360,000) issued, Malaysian news outlets reported on Oct 21.
The figure was given by Malaysia’s Road Transport Department (JPJ) senior enforcement director Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan, who spoke to reporters in Kelantan.
In an earlier update, JPJ said 3,148 offenders had been issued writs of summons as at Sept 28, Malaysia’s Berita Harian reported.
This means that more than 760 fines were meted out over the past three weeks.
