Loke conceded that the decision to deny entry to vehicles with outstanding fines was ultimately within the jurisdiction of the Singaporean government.“However, concerning this issue, we will discuss it during the coming retreat between both governments; this issue will be raised,” he said after launching the Xtra 20 Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad discount card in KL Sentral this morning.
Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Abdul Karim had also weighed in on the subject previously saying the implementation to deny entry to foreign vehicles was an indication of how bilateral ties between both countries had deteriorated. “An official announcement will be made soon as we are still finalising the details, and we hope that they can resume their services soon,” he said today.
