00:04 The Minister of Transport, Lu Zhaofu, announced that from October 1st,
00:08 all foreign vehicles entering Myanmar from Singapore must have a foreign vehicle entry certificate, VEP,
00:16 to ensure that foreign car owners follow traffic rules.
00:19 Lu Zhaofu revealed that once the VEP measure is in effect,
00:21 any foreign car owners who drive a vehicle without a VEP label in Myanmar will be considered a criminal offence.
00:30 Once convicted, they can be fined less than RMB2000 or imprisoned for less than six months under the Lulu Traffic Law.
00:37 In addition, the Lulu Traffic Authority also has the right to ban any foreign cars entering Myanmar without a VEP.
00:43 If a foreign car owner does not follow traffic rules in Myanmar,
00:46 he must pay a fine to be allowed to enter Myanmar.
00:51 From October 1st, all foreign cars entering Myanmar from Singapore must have a foreign vehicle entry certificate, VEP.
00:58 When Lu Zhaofu held a press conference today,
01:01 he reminded all Singaporean car owners to apply for a VEP as soon as possible,
01:05 to avoid facing difficulties when entering Myanmar.
01:08 As soon as the enforcement started,
01:10 the Ministry of Transport hopes that all foreign motorists will register,
01:14 install and activate the RFID VEP tag to avoid any difficulties when entering and leaving Malaysia in the future.
01:23 Lu Zhaofu pointed out that the price of each RFID VEP label is RMB10.
01:28 After a five-year purchase, the authorities will send the label to foreign car owners.
01:33 Lu Zhaofu also revealed that only a few Singaporean car owners have applied for a VEP certificate.
01:39 According to the current record, only about 70,000 Singaporean registered motorists have registered and activated the VEP tag,
01:47 compared to more than 200,000 registered motorists,
01:50 but have not yet completed the installation and activation process of their respective VEP tags.
01:56 With this measure about to start at the Rewuxin border,
01:59 Lu Zhaofu said that the government also plans to expand the VEP certification to the Matai border.
