Johor's Road Transport Department (JPJ) collected RM1.17 million in Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) summonses between January and October 18, 2021, according to director Zulkarnain Yasin. The department conducted inspections on 120,740 vehicles at the state's two land entry points - the Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI) and Sultan Abu Bakar Complex (KSAB).
Yasin stated that despite the continuous enforcement operations, the rate of non-compliance by foreign drivers remains low compared to the total number of vehicles inspected. JPJ mobile vans have been stationed at BSI and KSAB since early October to assist with the payment of VEP summonses. As of now, no foreign vehicles have been barred from leaving the country for failing to pay summonses.
The department's main goal is to prevent the accumulation of summonses, requiring vehicle owners to pay on the spot. Zulkarnain acknowledged that some foreign drivers are unaware of the VEP requirement, despite its implementation for a long time. However, the department will not accept such excuses.
