KUALA LUMPUR, Oct. 1 -- The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has issued 3,148 summonses with fines worth a total of RM944,400 to Singapore-registered vehicles entering Malaysia without a valid Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) since enforcement began in July.

The VEP is a mandatory entry verification system that requires all foreign vehicles to register online and install an RFID tag before entering the country.

The requirement is part of Malaysia's broader effort to tighten controls, enhance border security, and enforce traffic laws on foreign vehicles.

JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli confirmed that each summons carries a RM300 fine, which must be paid before the vehicle is allowed to leave Malaysia, Berita Harian reported.
