Oct 1 marked the first day of the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) scheme kicking in for foreign-registered vehicles entering Malaysia. Despite the clear traffic at the land checkpoints, there were still queues of more than 50 people at the VEP centre waiting to get their VEPs approved or registered.

00:00I'm here today to ask them why my BEP is being rejected.
00:09Today is totally smooth.
00:10There wasn't any cars at all.
00:12So it's pretty empty here.
00:13No, nobody.
00:15Even in the 2-hour checkpoint in Johor Bahru,
00:19it's very, very easy.
00:27I'd say around 10 plus.
00:30Then, when I came here, the number was already called out.
00:33When I came here at 8.30 in the morning,
00:35the queue was past this corner.
00:41Oh, okay.
00:42Okay, for me, okay.
00:44Yeah, we asked someone to help us.
00:46And then everything went fine.
00:47No problem.
00:48When I came down here, I thought it was quite smooth sailing.
00:50I mean, besides the weight,
00:51everything else, they actually settled it pretty well.
00:56My car had already been registered before.
00:58That's the issue.
01:00So they can't rectify it.
01:02So we have to come here.
01:03It's the best.
01:04Whoever has this problem, it's best you come here.
01:07Other than that, you wait for your...
01:09Whatever you make from them, I think it won't do much.
01:11It's quite haphazard because
01:14a lot of people don't know where to get the numbers.
01:17There's nobody to ask.
01:22I will be very happy if they can sort out everything.
01:25Or if they want to ask me,
01:27they make another appointment for me to come on another day
01:31without having to queue.
01:32I'll be very happy with that.
01:34But I'm not too optimistic.
01:36But I know today it's only been registered.
01:38I'll be back in another 10, 15, 14 days
01:40to get it registered for approval.
01:42And then from there, another maybe 10 days to get it installed.
01:45Maybe they'll process it later.
