The implementation of the Vehicle Entry Permit, V-E-P, which was scheduled to start next month, has been postponed. Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said this was to resolve issues related to vehicle entry requirements at both the Singapore and Thai border. He also said that matters pertaining to regulations that will be imposed on foreign-registered vehicles under the VEP needed to be ironed out before it could take effect. Currently, Malaysia is only imposing a RM20 Road Charge on foreign-registered vehicles from Singapore, entering through the southern land entry points. Once the standardisation of regulations has been finalised, Malaysia will also impose the RM20 Road Charge at the country's entry point in Thailand simultaneously with the implementation of the VEP. Despite the delay, the minister was confident that the VEP would be implemented within next year, adding that would make the announcement once after all related issued have been settled.
