It has been reported that Singaporeans make up the largest group of foreign drivers who have outstanding traffic summons in Malaysia, estimated at RM3.5
million .
Due to this, our Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook has announced that all foreign vehicles must have the Vehicle Entry Permit RFID tag, starting October 1 , when entering Malaysia from Singapore, so that Singaporean vehicles with unpaid summons can easily be detected at the border. The ROADS.sg Facebook page recently showcased how the VEP RFID tag worked, as the display at the Malaysia-Singapore checkpoint showed that a vehicle had 1 outstanding Royal Malaysia Police summon.
They wrote, “Yes, the VEP registration for Singaporean cars with the RFID tag indeed tracks your outstanding traffic summons. PDRM stands for Polis DiRaja Malaysia, Royal Malaysia Police.”Many expressed their concerns about traffic jams should a vehicle get stuck at the gantry due to unpaid summons.
But, others explained from experience that the boom gate would still open for the vehicle with unpaid summons. However, there will be officers waiting to stop the vehicle at the customs area before the vehicle can enter Singapore.Also read: S’porean ‘Human Shield’ Woman Says She Wasn’t Cutting Queue but Only Confronting Dangerous Driver
