Singapore cars entering Johor slammed with new vehicle entry permit fee

It’s a response to Singapore’s raised VEP charges.

Cars entering Malaysia from Singapore will be met with a new Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) fee, Malaysian press reported today.

According to a report by The Star, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the decision was made following a request made by the state.

“The issue of imposing a levy for foreign-registered vehicles entering Johor has been raised various times in the past but the idea was scrapped following views it could deter Singaporeans from visiting Malaysia. However, the state government has been pressing for the VEP to be implemented especially after Singapore recently announced that it would raise its VEP fee for foreign-registered cars from S$20 (RM52) to S$35 (RM90), beginning August,” noted the report.
