Singapore drivers rush to Malaysia’s VEP information counter in Woodlands industrial park to seek help
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/asi...e-opens-woodlands-drivers-traffic-vep-4553186Boleh Civil Service Culture: Very Work-Life Balance. At about 2.20pm, staff members told drivers that they were no longer issuing queue numbers for the day and told them to leave their contact details behind.
CNA reported at about noon of its opening and the location. No public announcement on the exact location of the office in Woodlands was made by TCSens - the vendor appointed by Malaysia's Road Transport Department (JPJ) to handle queries from Singapore drivers - nor by the authorities there. CNA first found out about the location of the office from a staff member at TCSens office in Johor's Danga Bay.
Please visit TCSens office in Johor's Danga Bay. A manager at the office in Woodlands said that it was strictly an “enquiry centre”. CNA understands that drivers are not able to install nor collect their radio frequency identification (RFID) tag at the office.
Another driver, Mr Jummaat Abdul Karim, told CNA that he had planned on driving to the TCSens office in Johor Bahru on Aug 21, but came down after his sister sent him the link to CNA’s report. The 71-year-old semi-retiree said he has obtained approval for the VEP, showing CNA the application document. “But my application needs my current address but I'm unable to update my address through the system (online). “I thought by coming here I could find out what I need to do,” said Mr Jummaat, who waited in the queue for about 30 minutes and had driven from Sengkang. “But the bottomline is, they also don't know whether they can help you or not.”
Action will be taken against any foreign motor vehicle without a VEP entering Malaysia from that date. Anyone found guilty of the offence can be fined up to RM2,000 or jailed for up to six months.
