VEP + Touch ‘n Go Hacks: A Guide for Singapore Drivers

Understand the tools of the trade for a smoother, more cost-effective drive in Malaysia.

For many Singaporean drivers, the terms VEP, RFID, and Touch 'n Go can be confusing. It’s crucial to understand the role of each to ensure a smooth journey. Think of it this way: your VEP gets you into the country, and your Touch 'n Go lets you travel around it.

1. Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) RFID Tag

Purpose: To identify your car and verify it has permission to enter Malaysia. This is a legal requirement by the Malaysian Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ).
How it Works: The VEP RFID tag is scanned at the border checkpoints (customs) when you enter and exit Malaysia.
The Bottom Line: No valid VEP, no entry. It's as simple as that.

2. Touch 'n Go (TNG) System

Purpose: To pay for highway tolls, parking, and sometimes even purchases.
How it Works: You can use a physical TNG card or the TNG RFID tag linked to your TNG eWallet. The TNG RFID is scanned at toll plazas for automatic payment.
The Bottom Line: This is your payment method for using most Malaysian highways.

Hack #1: Embrace the TNG RFID

Hack #2: Monitor Your eWallet Balance

Hack #3: Keep a Physical Card as Backup
