Problems Experienced by Singapore Motorists following Implementation of Vehicle Entry Permit

Mr Ang Wei Neng asked the Minister for Transport (a) whether the Ministry keeps track of the problems faced by Singapore motorists when they cross the Causeway after the implementation of Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) scheme by Malaysia, especially when there are difficulties obtaining VEP; and (b) whether the Ministry can engage the Malaysian authorities to open up more VEP centres in Johor Bahru and Singapore.

Mr Chee Hong Tat: The Malaysia Vehicle Entry Permit (MVEP) is a requirement from the Malaysian Road Transport Department. The Land Transport Authority has shared with its Malaysian counterparts the feedback received from Singapore motorists on the MVEP.
