The Malaysia government will commence enforcement of the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) requirement at the Malaysia-Singapore land borders effective 1 July 2025, the country's Ministry of Transport announced on 4 June (Wednesday)

| Private company vehicles | Once summons are issued, payment must be made and VEP registration must be done before exiting Malaysia | A reminder notice will be issued and the vehicle will be allowed to exit Malaysia |
Foreign vehicle owners issued a summon for not having a valid VEP must settle the fine before leaving Malaysia. Payment must be made via cashless methods at Road Transport Department (JPJ) counters, JPJ mobile units, or online through MyEG.
