A letter writer to the Straits Times Forum page has expressed the frustrations of many Singaporean Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) applicants who have neither received the radio frequency identification tag nor have received any information about where to collect the identification tag.
The writer, Dr Richard Martorano, said that despite many inquiries, the Malaysian authorities have only said that one can still enter Malaysia without the VEP tag. The authorities have also told him that “the system is under maintenance”. But he wondered how a system that was never implemented be under maintenance?
