Got a VEP-Related JPJ Summons? Here's How to Appeal!

Understanding Those Pesky VEP Summonses

Driving from Singapore into Malaysia means playing by certain rules, and the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) is a big one. But sometimes, even when you try your best, you might still get a summons from the Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) for something VEP-related. It can feel pretty overwhelming, right? The good news is, you absolutely have the right to appeal if you think the summons was a mistake or if there were special circumstances.

Why You Might Get a VEP Summons

A JPJ summons tied to your VEP can pop up for a few different reasons, such as:

• No Valid VEP: You drove into Malaysia without a properly registered and active VEP.
• Expired VEP: Your VEP ran out, but you were still driving in Malaysia.
• Missing or Damaged RFID Tag: Your RFID tag wasn't attached correctly, or it couldn't be read.
• Wrong Vehicle Details: There were differences between your car's details and what was on your VEP registration.
• Insurance Lapses: Your car insurance, which is linked to your VEP, had expired.
