When SG implement the matching road charge, the Causeway will be most time like this afternoon.

Great if it's really true. I dont mind paying more to save time. In fact, I need to go KL tomorrow. Hopefully it will be totally jam free when I come back to SG on Thursday night.

As I'd said, for occasional odd hour driving like yourself, it is indeed not a problem but for those people having to drive in and out everyday to work, its another heavy burden.

You no need to worry about them as they save some RM 300 to RM 600,000 just on housing alone when they stay in JB.

If they bother about RM 400 entry levy per month and RM 4,800 per year I guess they deserved to be screwed badly by govt of both sides.

Foreign vehicles entering Singapore to pay 'reciprocal road charge' of S$6.40

SINGAPORE: Starting Feb 15, all foreign-registered cars will have to pay a reciprocal road charge (RRC) of S$6.40 when they enter Singapore via the Tuas or Woodlands Checkpoints, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced on Monday (Jan 16).

"The RRC mirrors Malaysia’s road charge of RM20 (S$6.40) per entry for non-Malaysia registered cars entering Johor, which was implemented on Nov 1, 2016," LTA said.

The road charge will be collected together with the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP), toll charges and fixed Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) fees upon departure at the Tuas or Woodlands Checkpoints.

Signs have been put up to remind motorists to pay for the applicable charges by inserting their Autopass card or CashCard into the card readers at the immigration booths, LTA said.

Motorists who evade payment face a S$50 fine for a first offence and S$100 for a subsequent offence. Those who fail to pay the fine may be charged in court and face a fine of up to S$1,000 or a jail term of up to three months, LTA added.

An average of 20,000 Singapore-registered vehicles enter Malaysia daily via the two land checkpoints.

Singapore’s Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said in Parliament last Monday that the Government has a “long-standing policy” of matching any levy, tolls or fees charged by Malaysia at the land checkpoints.

“This is to ensure that Malaysia takes into consideration our response whenever they raise their tolls or introduce a new levy,” Mr Khaw said.

Malaysia collected about RM13.9 million in road charges from Singapore vehicles between Nov 1, when the new road charge was launched, and Dec 20 last year, he added.

Confirmed today, the new Road Charge for entering SG will be implemented from 15 Feb 2017, immediately after the CNY.
MY enriched themselves effortlessly by introducing the new Road Charge, collecting millions monthly also allowed SG to do the same by reciprocation - MY indeed enriching thy neighbour.

Not si buay weak la, SG gave them time to reconsider and make a U-turn but after realizing that they can collect millions every month they decide to continue with the road charge so SG has to reciprocate accordingly to the bilateral agreement.
This is known as "pang chance" for them to realize the implementation of a silly rule which actually may hurt their very own citizens and ultimately, their own economy

Malaysia wants to counter Sinkie Land's S$35 VEP woh? Ho Say Liao. Those Sinkies staying in JB and working in Sinkie Land (by car) will get hit jialat jialat.

Next time, it's cheaper to go to JB by flight. You'll get the captain saying "Cabin crews prepare for take-off" and within 10 minutes, you'll get "Welcome to Malaysia, the local time is now.........." Now S$35 on budget airlines can already get you to KL.

FOLLOWING Singapore's decision to impose a new Reciprocal Road Charge (RRC) of S$6.40 (RM20) on foreign-registered cars entering the republic, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said Malaysia may be forced to mirror the island republic by charging a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) fee of S$35 (RM109) on foreign vehicles entering Malaysia.

Defending Malaysia's decision to impose the RM20 Road Charge (RC) on foreign-registered vehicles entering Malaysia in November last year, he said it was only reasonable as Malaysia did not reciprocate ever since Singapore imposed the VEP fee in 1973.

On Monday, in announcing the RRC for all foreign-registered cars entering the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints starting Feb 15, Singapore's Land Transport Authority said it mirrors Malaysia's RC, which was introduced on Nov 1 last year.

"If they (Singapore) insist on it (imposing the RRC) and do not reconsider their decision, we (Malaysia) may be forced to implement the VEP policy practised by Singapore," Liow was quoted by Oriental Daily News as saying in a report today.

Asked to elaborate, Liow pointed out that Singapore Implemented the VEP more than 30 years ago, and when Malaysia implemented RC decades later last year, the island republic deemed it a different matter and wanted to impose the RRC.

He said RRC will be a burden on Malaysians driving into Singapore but "perhaps it is a move by Singapore to control the number of foreign-registered cars going into the republic".

As such, Malaysia will also review measures to regulate entry of foreign-registered cars into Malaysia, he added.

[enjoylife77]

Taking into consideration the proposed all-in road charges, JB properties are considered expensive investment

Whatever charges is paid by the people, the govt just have to collect, why they bother especially when the govt is alreay going broke giving out borrowed money to the people to win votes.
They don't understand ultimately who suffers.

Fear not.
All the major Chinese development like Forest City, Princess Cove, Greenland, etc. were actually aiming at the Mainlanders.
According to the interview with the Greenland GM in attached video, about 90% of the buyers were Mainlanders.
A customer when asked why he bought a property in MY, he said because of the proximity to SG, its convenient for his children's future education! ([email protected])

Actually right now, Dr M and the Johor Sultan had just cross sword on this Iskandar / Chinese development.
Note the guy being interviewed @19.08 Lim Kang Ho, MD Iskandar Waterfront Holdings was also responsible for the failed JB Waterfront Lot 1 Shopping Mall, a mojor eyesore right in the city now.
That one is a simple illustration his "grand foresight" while all the things he said were just some politically correct stuff.
