SINGAPORE - Singapore-registered vehicles entering Johor will not have to pay the RM20 (S$6.45) Road Charge for seven days, starting from Friday (April 1) when the two neighbouring countries reopen their land border after two years. Malaysia’s Transport Minister Wee Ka Siong made the announcement in a statement on Monday (March 28), and said the move will give motorists the...

The waiver is being allowed as those in Singapore have not been able to enter Malaysia to top up their Touch ‘n Go cards.

Official retailer 7-Eleven said its stock of cards ran out last Friday night, while local online payment provider EZ-Link - which provides an alternative EZ-Link x Touch 'n Go Motoring card - said its cards have been sold out at certain convenience stores.Both types of cards, which cost $10 each, are expected to be replenished at physical stores from early April.

In the meantime, resellers have appeared on various e-commerce platforms such as Carousell, Lazada and Shopee to capitalise on the shortage. Although the Touch 'n Go card has a 10-year lifespan, it becomes dormant and cannot be reactivated if left unused for 12 months. The majority of cards in Singapore would no longer be active, given that the borders have been closed since March 2020.
