JPJ issued summonses worth RM57,000 to Singapore-registered vehicles for not complying with the VEP requirement
According to Bernama, JPJ Johor director Azmil Zainal Adnan announced that a total of 190 summonses related to VEP have been issued at the Malaysia-Singapore land border as of 5 July 2025, amounting to RM57,000. Furthermore, a total of 1,767 vehicles were inspected during the 5 days.
Azmil added that VEP enforcement at the land checkpoints has proceeded smoothly, with 94 vehicles being issued warning notices.
The enforcement is in line with Section 66H(7) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which makes it an offence to drive a foreign-registered motor vehicle into or within Malaysia without a valid permit. Under the enforcement, drivers of Singapore-registered vehicles entering Malaysia without a valid VEP may be fined RM300.
