Firms helping Singapore drivers with Malaysia’s VEP see spike in demand amid festive season

Singaporean car owners have been robbing over Malaysia’s Vehicle Entry Permits (VEPs ) for road trips across the Causeway in preparation for the Chinese New Year in January and the year-end holiday season.

In recent months, there has been a rise in demand for organizations that help drivers with software.

Malaysia made a statement in May that all foreign-registered cars traveling through Singapore by land may be required to use VEPs or had their registration suspended. The date has since been extended&nbsp, with no fresh day set. &nbsp,

Innox Group is among the companies seeing more clients. The business was established in June, shortly after the first official announcement regarding the October date for required VEP tags.

The need for the agency’s service peaked in September, with about 80 candidates per day, before falling to around 20 to 30 a moment in November, said its general manager Christopher Leow.

This month, he is seeing about 30 to 40 clients each time.

According to Mr. Leow, the majority of consumers who have contacted his business are those who have to travel between the two countries for function or those who have friends across the Causeway.

” They don’t want to take any risk ( by waiting for the new deadline ), so they just want to get things done. ( In case ) they face any complications ( and ) they can’t get it done on their own, they want to seek a service provider”, he said.

On Dec 13, more than 550, 000 persons crossed Singapore’s area gates in a single moment, marking a new report. &nbsp,
