Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song asked the Minister for Transport 

a.     what steps has LTA taken in response to the difficulties faced by Singaporeans in registering for the Malaysian Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP), especially for those needing to travel to Malaysia for business regularly; and

b.     whether LTA has engaged with Malaysian authorities to mitigate issues such as long delays in VEP application approvals, non-responsive customer support, and uncertainties on the enforcement of the 1 October 2024 deadline.

Reply by Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat:

1.     The Malaysia Vehicle Entry Permit (MVEP) is a requirement from the Malaysian Road Transport Department. The Land Transport Authority has shared with its Malaysian counterparts the feedback received from Singapore motorists on the MVEP.
