RM57,000 In Fines Issued Within Five Days Of VEP Rollout
Malaysia began enforcing the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) for foreign vehicles on July 1, 2025, with non-compliance carrying a RM300 fine.
Within the first five days of enforcement, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) inspected 1,767 vehicles at the Malaysia-Singapore border and issued 190 VEP-related summonses, amounting to RM57,000, according to Johor JPJ director Azmil Zainal Adnan, as reported by Bernama.
“So far, VEP enforcement at the land checkpoints has proceeded smoothly,” he says, adding that a total of 94 vehicles have been issued warning notices.
The enforcement falls under Section 66H(7) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which makes it an offence to drive a foreign-registered vehicle in Malaysia without valid authorisation. Drivers of Singapore-registered vehicles entering without a valid VEP now face a RM300 fine.
Still, the system hasn’t been without hiccups. Many Singaporean drivers have voiced frustrations especially with the Touch ’n Go app, urging authorities to step in.

As of June 29, Bernama reports that around 42,000 private vehicles in Singapore, or 17% of those issued VEPs, have yet to activate their RFID tags.
