JOHOR BAHRU, Oct 20 — The Johor Road Transport Department (JPJ) issued 7,804 summonses totalling RM1.17 million through the implementation of the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) from January to October 18, according to its director Zulkarnain Yasin.

He said this was the result of inspections on 120,740 vehicles at the state’s two land entry points — the Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI) and Sultan Abu Bakar Complex (KSAB).

He said enforcement operations were conducted continuously at the two entry points.

“However, the rate of non-compliance among foreign drivers is actually still low compared with the overall number of vehicles inspected,” he said in an interview with Bernama recently.
