Malaysia is now in a"recovery phase" that will see the gradual reopening of business and travel.for Malaysia-registered vehicles was announced for the period between Mar 18 and Apr 14.
Those who wish to avoid accumulating VEP fees and are unable to personally drive their vehicles out of Singapore may engage cross-border towing services to transport their vehicles back to Malaysia, said LTA. The extension will apply automatically, but Malaysian motorists should update their road tax and vehicle insurance validity dates with LTA, it said.
