SINGAPORE/KUALA LUMPUR - From Jan 1, 2025, Singapore motorists with outstanding traffic fines in Malaysia will face enforcement action, said the Malaysia’s Road Transport Department (JPJ). Between 1990 and June 2024, Singaporeans have racked up more than 35,000 unpaid summonses, totalling RM3.5 million (S$1 million), according to the Malaysian police. While no action has been taken against the drivers so far, they are urged to settle their fines as Malaysia prepares to enforce the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) system, which allows the authorities to track every car’s traffic offences. Here’s what to take note of if you plan to drive across the Causeway. 1. Get your VEP ready From Oct 1, all foreign-registered vehicles entering Malaysia from Singapore by land will be required to have a VEP, which acts like an “identity card” for these vehicles in Malaysia. The VEP requirement will apply to motorists entering the two Johor checkpoints – at the Sultan Iskandar complex via the Causeway and the Sultan Abu Bakar complex via the Second Link.
