SINGAPORE: Malaysia’s Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) scheme for foreign-registered vehicles entering Malaysia from Singapore by land has started.

Effective from Oct 1, all such vehicles must have installed and activated a VEP radio frequency identification (RFID) tag that is linked to a Touch ‘n Go eWallet. Those without a tag can still enter the country, but will receive a reminder.
