‘Don’t know where to turn’: Singapore drivers face uncertainty, mull alternatives as Malaysia VEP deadline looms

Innox’s public administrator Christopher Leow told CNA that there has been an “overwhelming” number of requests for its service, with most of them from individuals who are “less technology savvy”. &nbsp,

Mr. Leow explained that some drivers have trouble with the intricacies of the application process, such as installing RFID tags on the vehicles and connecting the Touch’N Go e-wallets with their registrations. &nbsp,

He said,” The more programs we handle, the more comfortable we get with the system,” noting that there were even the smallest details that may annoy potential clients. &nbsp, &nbsp,

He further advised owners who have n’t installed their VEP to avoid entering Malaysia because everything stands between the chance of being caught by breaking the law.

” Because they have made it clear that secret car owners may receive fines and even jail time starting in October.” I wo n’t advise you to try entering without a VEP from a professional standpoint,” he said. &nbsp,

Vehicles TURNING TO Accommodations, TAXI SERVICES&nbsp,

Some individuals have also informed CNA that they are considering using various modes of transportation to travel across the Causeway after the date of October 1. &nbsp,

Mr. Henry Chua, a civil servant employee in Singapore, stated to CNA that he will rather use cross-border taxis for his quick, monthly short vacation in Malaysia. &nbsp,

A one-way car ride from Singapore’s Ban San Street to Johor Bahru’s Iris prices usually about S$ 60. &nbsp,

The 48-year-old added that while it costs more than driving, a day trip to JB is still less expensive and more convenient than taking a ferry to Batam or taking a flight to KL ( Kuala Lumpur ). &nbsp,

Before renting a vehicle to see his customers, who may be based in various regions of island Malaysia, Mr. Lee, who works in the construction sector, told CNA that he would think about using the KTMB Tebrau Shuttle train services to cross the border. &nbsp,
