More strain on our pockets


Well-used link: The daily traffic flow at the Woodlands checkpoint. Malaysians wanting to go to Singapore in their vehicles will have to pay more per trip after the new fares take effect on Feb 15.

JOHOR BARU: Malaysians driving to Singapore on a daily basis have to deal with yet another charge – a Reciprocal Road Charge (RRC) that the republic claims that it’s imposing to match the RM20 fee Malaysia is levying on their cars.

Although the RRC is only S$6.40 (RM20), this comes on top of the other fees – the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) and the toll charges – that Malaysians already have to fork out to cross over to the city-state.
