RTD denies viral news on implementation of VEP

KUALA LUMPUR: The Road Transport Department (RTD) today denied the viral news that the implementation of the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) for foreign vehicles entering the country will take effect on May 1.
The RTD in a statement today said the VEP was still at the testing and system validation stage to ensure stability and adequacy of the system before full enforcement could be implemented.
"We want to stress that, at present, there is no restriction on vehicles from overseas or Singapore entering without registration of entry permit or VEP," he said.
The RTD also urged the public not to believe any claims by irresponsible parties and that any information pertaining to the enforcement of the VEP system can be obtained from http://vep.jpj.gov.my/#/about. — Bernama
