Malaysia is set to introduce a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) fee of RM20 (S$7.55) for foreign vehicles from the middle of next year.

Singapore's Ministry of Transport (MOT) is studying the move and will respond "in due course".

“We are studying the new levy, and will decide on our response in due course," said a ministry spokesperson.

"We note among other things that it will not be uniformly applied at all of Malaysia’s land borders."

In a New Straits Times report on Sunday, Malaysia's Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Aziz Kaprawi was quoted as saying that the VEP will be implemented at the Causeway and Second Link, before being introduced at borders with Thailand and Brunei.

Mr Aziz said that the government had originally planned to implement the VEP next month, but postponed the launch as preparations had to be done, “including the installation of special devices at the two entry points”.
