VEP users will be notified of summonses at Johor checkpoints

Vehicle owners who have signed up for Malaysia's Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) will now be informed of their outstanding Road Transport Department (JPJ) and police summonses whenever they enter the two land checkpoints in Johor.

Variable message signage displays are being used to alert VEP users of their outstanding traffic citations.

"So far, this is a good way to get foreign-registered vehicle drivers to pay up for outstanding summonses which are in the hundreds of thousands of ringgit over the years," a JPJ official said, adding that the JPJ has been carrying out regular checks around the two land checkpoints in Johor to remind foreign cars to register for the VEP.
