Ticklish8 3rd Gear August 17, 2016 Author Share August 17, 2016 I post the report hah since people lazy to click the link.... 1) VEP postpone again. (Don't asked me until when.....) 2) VEP hasn't started. For those who frequent JB like me.... Yes u need to tap twice... Once for T n G and the other for the RC so that the gantry open. Sometimes u just need to tap once, sometimes twice.... U know Msia lah... Semua Boleh... SEGAMAT: The Bangunan Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration Quarantine (CIQ) Complex infrastructure at the Causeway has forced the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) implementation to be further pushed back due to technical issues. Johor Public Works, Rural and Regional Development executive committee chairman Datuk Hasni Mohammad said the system that was agreed upon earlier, had to be upgraded to accommodate the CIQ for the convenience of the users. This was due to the CIQ infrastructure, which made it difficult for the system to be put in place there, he added. He said the CIQ could not accommodate the existing system, which had already been put in place at Kompleks Sultan Abu Bakar near the Second Link in Tanjung Kupang, Gelang Patah. “Although the system at Kompleks Sultan Abu Bakar is ready, we cannot have one entry point that charges (the VEP) and the other not charging. “We want everything to be ready and start together,” he said. He was asked to comment on the VEP after attending a ground-breaking ceremony for a RM4mil project to upgrade the Felda Kemelah intersection here on Sunday. He added that all efforts and focus are being given to the CIQ now to hasten the process and ensure that the upgraded system fits the infrastructure. The VEP, which was activated on June 1, has been running on a trial period that was supposed to end on July 15. Hasni said the charge had been decided at RM20 for each foreign-registered vehicle that enters Malaysia through Johor, all year long regardless of public holidays or weekends. This was unlike Singapore’s VEP, which gives foreign vehicles exemption from 5pm to 2am on weekdays, weekends as well as the island republic’s public holidays. He added that Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai, who visited Johor late last month, said to give the ministry another two more months to do the necessary upgrade and synchronise the systems before implementation. Hasni also said that some 230,000 owners of Singapore vehicles have registered for the system to date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sharing based on what I experienced and what the customs officer told me. What benefits do I get by "spreading untrue rumours"? Why you ask a low level personnel that kind of information? They will not know. Why bother to ask? If it starts, it starts. The more you ask, the more it will happen.

Zxcvb Turbocharged August 17, 2016 Share August 17, 2016 Agreed guys. No need to ask. Everyday got ppl travel to JB. So if it happens, it happens and all will know. If not, don't ask, go thru the custom as usual. The less ppl ask, the longer they delay. Best is forgotten. If keep asking, then they will keep the pressure to make it happen asap. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they are doing a trial run. every car has to tap their Touch n Go Card on the reader at the clearing passport counter, then the gantry will open, but there is no deduction from the card.

Currently still just tap one time on the touch-and-go reader ONCE to pay the toll for the gantry to open. There is no instruction to tap any other readers or tap twice. I just returned from JB recently. Hmmm, so when will VEP start huh? By right, it started last week 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
