Singaporean motorists who have yet to register for the Vehicle Entry Permit, VEP, are advised
00:08
not to delay further as the Malaysian government will enforce penalties gradually.
00:14
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said Singapore vehicle owners should still apply for the
00:18
permit, although they are currently allowed to enter and exit Johor following the VEP
00:24
enforcement date on October 1.
00:26
He said of the 678 cars checked randomly at the BSI and Complex Sultan Abu Bakar near
00:34
the Second Link on Tuesday and Wednesday, only 50 drivers were found to have not applied
00:40
for the permit.
00:41
He added that they would be served notices as a reminder for them to apply for the VEP
00:47
as soon as possible to avoid action in the future.
00:51
When asked by Singapore media about the information required for the application and data security,
00:56
Loke assured applicants that Malaysia has the Personal Data Protection Act.
01:01
We have laws as well, we have Personal Data Protection Act, PDPA, and the information
01:07
that we ask by the Malaysian authorities are the same information asked by the Singapore
01:11
authorities.
01:12
So, it has to be fair to us.
01:15
If Malaysian cars going into Singapore, you ask all sorts of questions.
01:18
I mean, when Singaporean cars coming to Malaysia, we ask the same questions, I think you have
01:23
to accept it.
01:24
Right.
01:25
So, this is only fair, I mean, in terms of authorities and in terms of our legal condition.
01:32
Loke reiterated that Singaporeans were not being targeted for the VEP exercise as the
01:38
government would also implement it at the Malaysia-Thai border in the Northern States soon.
