An information counter for drivers in Singapore to enquire about Malaysia’s Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) began operations on Monday (Aug 19) without much fanfare said local media CNA when it investigated on the centre after one of reporters heard about it from anotther friend.
CNA saidd there was no public announcement on the exact location of the office in Woodlands was made by TCSens – the vendor appointed by Malaysia’s Road Transport Department (JPJ) to handle queries from Singapore drivers – nor by the authorities there. CNA said it first found out about the location of the office from a staff member at TCSens office in Johor’s Danga Bay.
The office – located at 186 Woodlands Industrial Park E5 – was empty when CNA arrived at 8.45am. There were no drivers waiting outside the office, nor were there any signs at the unit indicating that it was the VEP information centre.
The building’s board listing, however, listed the third floor unit as “MY VEP PTE LTD”.
Earlier this month, Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced that a VEP information counter would be opened in Woodlands to help drivers with their queries.
