Effective November 15, 2025, owners or drivers of foreign vehicles, particularly from Singapore, who fail to possess or activate a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) will not be allowed to leave Malaysia until they have paid the summons. So, what should you know about it?
It's time for full enforcement
Quoting a Bernama report, Road Transport Department (JPJ) Director-General Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said the full enforcement action involved individual private vehicles as well as private vehicles owned by companies that did not have a VEP, had expired or were still in pre-registered status.
A summons will be issued, and it is mandatory to pay the summons and register for a VEP before leaving Malaysia. This is to avoid any problems at the Malaysia-Singapore border exit. Summons payment can be made at the JPJ office counter, JPJ Mobile counter, VEP registration counter in Danga Bay or online (myEG).
According to Aedy Fadly, previously the action only involved issuing summons and warning notices to drivers or owners of foreign vehicles, but now it is time for full enforcement.
Previously, the operation was only focused on Johor, but now it has been expanded to the entire country. Any Singaporean vehicle that does not have a VEP and is stopped at any location in Malaysia will be subject to action.
He also informed that since the enforcement of the VEP on July 1, JPJ has inspected 55486 vehicles and issued 4028 compounds against owners who do not have a VEP, with the total compounds reaching RM1.2 million.
