JB charging RM20 for foreign car visiting ? Is it confirm ?

[PuteriWorld]

For a moment in the 6 hour jam I realise RM 20 levy to deter Singapore cars from entering JB is not working to work well. Spore is just too expensive and boring a place for people to remain during long weekends.

Halimah MP asked everyone to stay in Singapore to celebrate SG50 but people like us prefer to celebrate SG50 = MYR 140 across the border. We are all practical people.

you'll receive email once successfully registered in VEP:
Vehicle owners must bring along this document and other supporting documents (please refer to VEP portal FAQ) to collect the VEP tag.
The location and collection date shall be announced later.
For more information, please contact +603 8315 9200 or channel your enquiries to [email protected].

I don't believe Spore have the guts to impose VEP on motorbikes. All the talking at the Spore side is just wayang. Just to show their concern as election is nearby.

What do you mean by no guts to impose VEP on motors? Motor bikers currently do pay a VEP of $4 from Mon to Fri. Maybe can increase to $6. Nice pool of money to come in, and yet not too high also......kekeke

Singapore vehicles need permit to enter Malaysia from May

KUALA LUMPUR • Malaysia's long-delayed Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) system requiring Singapore vehicles entering the country to be registered beforehand will be launched in May, according to Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai.

The system to be implemented at the two border crossings - the Causeway and the Second Link - with Singapore has been delayed several times since it was first scheduled to start on Aug 15 last year.

It has a five-year validity and costs vehicle owners an administration fee of RM10 (S$3.40). Each owner will get a radio-frequency identification tag.

With the VEP, foreign vehicles can remain in Malaysia for up to three months, on condition that their insurance and road tax are valid. Drivers of vehicles with expired permits face a RM150 fine on exiting Malaysia.

Singapore-registered vehicles must pay a RM20 road charge each time they enter Malaysia, according to the Road Transport Department website.

"The system will register foreign cars mostly from Singapore at our border to prevent cloned vehicles from being sold at low prices here," Datuk Seri Liow was quoted as saying by the Malay Mail Online.

On Aug 1, 2014, Singapore raised the cost of the VEP for foreign vehicles entering the Republic from $20 to $35 a day. It also increased the cost of the Goods Vehicle Permit from $10 to $40.

A version of this article appeared in the print edition of The Sunday Times on January 24, 2016, with the headline 'S'pore vehicles need permit to enter Malaysia from May'.

Johor conducts trial Vehicle Entry Permit run for Singapore vehicles

Thursday, Jun 2, 2016

JOHOR BARU is conducting a trial run of its long-delayed Vehicle Entry Permit System (VEP) on incoming Singapore vehicles at its Causeway and Second Link checkpoints, which will last till July 15, Malaysian media reported.During the trial period, which began at midnight yesterday, Singapore vehicles entering Johor need not pay the VEP fee of RM20 (S$6.60), reported Bernama news agency.

The fee will only be imposed from July 16.

"Meanwhile, the registration of vehicles for VEP will be open until the end of the year," Hasni Mohammad, chairman of Johor's Public Works, Rural and Regional Development Committee, told Bernama.

Singapore vehicles not registered with VEP, which is run by Malaysia's Road Transport Department (JPJ), will be refused entry into the country after the system is fully implemented.

A road charge of RM10 is to be paid during registration, which will be valid for five years.

According to Mr Hasni, 120,000 Singapore vehicles have already registered.

Johor's transport chief also said the JPJ will be involved in the trial for two weeks - which will mainly ensure there are no glitches when using the cameras and sensors installed on vehicle lanes to read number plates and the VEP identification tags, reported The Star daily.

But Mr Hasni warned that Singapore-registered vehicles which have not settled summonses will be detected.

There will be JPJ staff available round the clock at the checkpoints to help officers and drivers who run into problems with the system, said Mr Hasni.

Starting yesterday, Malaysian immigration officers must also personally check vehicles carrying many passengers to ensure the correct number of passports are submitted.The VEP, which was originally slated for launch in August last year, looks unlikely to be fully implemented before next year.

How to register

•Create an account at Malaysia's Road Transport Department (RTD) website.

•You can download your Vehicle Registration Card PDF file from the website of Singapore's Land Transport Authority and upload it to the RTD website. Once successful, a PDF confirmation slip will be sent to you via e-mail.

•Those registering at the Johor Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex will need to have their vehicle registration card, latest insurance cover note and passport with them.

•To collect the VEP tag, users must have the registered vehicle, passport, confirmation slip and RM10 (S$3.30) for an administration fee.

•The VEP tag is valid for five years and must be renewed three months before the expiry date.

Any one knows for registration on site at RTD counters in CIQ, could I drive the not yet VEP registered car to the CIQ? Is the VEP tag issued on the spot? I am wondering to do it at one go at the CIQ. Any advice would be appreciated.

The VEP Touch & Go points are already installed at the immigration counters, just next to the regular toll charge points.
From now on, you need to tap on both points, following the instructions displayed beside them...........Step 1 tap here and Step 2 tap there.
Now, only the Toll charge points deducts from your card.
Better make sure your Touch & Go card has more than RM50 in the future otherwise you'll be running around to find a top-up booth to top-up your card.

Just like we can see many J-plate car causing jam at exit of those ERP parking due to insufficient value, you can bet many poor Sg driver causing similar long jam at the Causeway immigration exit. Some things will never change.

The jam was also caused by many drivers who are still unaware of the new procedure or they simply can't read.
The signs in bold letters - the Step 1 and Step 2 instructions that you need to tap on BOTH pads but the driver in front of me keep just tapping and tapping on the usual Touch & Go Toll charge, the gentry will not lift up.
As usual, there are no officers around there to tell you of the new instructions, leaving you to discover yourself.
So remember, if you don't tap on both pads, the gate will not lift up.

Maybe if JB approved the usage of Apple Pay and Samsung Pay, things will be smooth.

http://m.themalaymailonline.com/mal...h-any-increase-in-malaysias-tolls-says-report

Just 1-2 years back the Woodlands toll increase 300% on the Malaysia side. It was matched by Singapore with 300% increase. A whopping 600% increase overnight.

Sinkies say they got economic "power" over JB. Threatened to boycott and make JB look deserted.

1-2 years later, JB is more crowded and developed than before.

I hope the RM 20 + S$7 will make causeway jams become history.

But according to history, the jams will still be there. JB will be much much more developed after the RM 20 per entry as Sinkie will still suck thumb and cheong JB. Why? Because living in Singapore is absurd and ridiculously expensive
