JOHOR BARU: The Johor Road Transport Department (JPJ) issued 7,804 summonses totalling RM1.17 million through the implementation of the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) from January to Oct 18, according to its director Zulkarnain Yasin.
Johor's Road Transport Department (JPJ) issued 7,804 summonses for Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) totaling RM1.17 million from January to October 18, according to director Zulkarnain Yasin. The summonses were a result of inspections at the state's two land entry points, the Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI) and Sultan Abu Bakar Complex (KSAB), where a total of 120,740 vehicles were checked.
JPJ has stationed mobile vans at BSI and KSAB to allow for the payment of VEP summonses. Despite the large number of summonses issued, the non-compliance rate among foreign drivers has been low compared to the overall number of vehicles inspected. No foreign vehicles have been barred from leaving the country for not paying their summonses, Yasin stated.
The aim of these enforcement actions is to prevent the accumulation of summonses, which automatically require payment on the spot. The team is always on standby at the locations to ensure smooth operations in case of technical issues or disruptions to the VEP system. Yasin emphasized that even though the full enforcement of the VEP had been in place since last year, some foreign drivers still claimed they were unaware of the requirement. He stressed that such excuses would not be accepted.
