NO WARNINGS ISSUED
I also observed a Road Transport Department Malaysia (RTDM) official taking pictures of the vehicles in the rest area while walking around the parking lot.  ,
When approached, he told CNA that he had spoken to some Singapore vehicles, answering questions about VEP protection. But no cautions - , linguistic or usually- appeared to have been issued.  ,  ,
In itself, this was not a wonder. Indonesian authorities had said last week that instructions, if needed, had been handed out to individuals before they left Malaysia, which I assumed may take place at the emigration station.
Preparing to flee the country, I handed my card to the emigration official, who made no mention of VEP.  ,
She questioned how I had driven in without a VEP when I inquired about a caution because the vehicle I was driving had one. The company also seemed to be aware of any statement regarding the postpone in VEP police, and for that matter, the warning itself.  ,
And with that, I was on the way up to Singapore.
Maybe I got lucky in evading a reminder. Emboldened, I decided to try once. Two U-turns afterwards, I was up at Malaysian immigration, heading up to Singapore.
Once, I was issued no notice of any kind. I contacted the immigration officer, who informed me that the road transportation department ( JPJ), a distinct entity from the immigration team, dealt with VEP issues.
