Teh also said the RM20 fee was unlikely to be a deterrent, considering that Singapore imposes a S$35 charge for a similar permit on its side. Back in 2015, then Johor menteri besar Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin suggested that the RM20 VEP charge would see RM15 going to the federal government, with the remainder to be channelled to the state’s road maintenance.The VEP requirement was initially put in place 2019, but was not enforced due to technical issues. A year later, the Covid-19 pandemic struck and the system was put on hold pending solutions to issues with installing the radio frequency identification tag.
However, not all agreed with the RM20 fee. Muhammad Aisamuddin Ismail said the VEP enforcement was timely, but the charge was inadequate to deter excessive casual traffic. “Hopefully the government will have a mechanism in place to increase the VEP charge to meet the current times,” he said.
