- $5 for bikes
- $40 monthly for goods vehicle
- no change for buses, taxis.
- all vehicles to purchase compulsory insurance at $10/entry. Alternatively, insurance package at $80/month is offered.

Msia toll side to start on 1st August 2014.

- RM20/entry for all sg cars entering msia

- Payment of 30% petrol tax on top of existing pump prices for sg registered cars.
- Groceries tax of 20% on top of final amount for customers without valid Msia MyKad.QUOTE=Eesee;1952587]Malaysian Govt should consider allowing properties owners/investors free access (or charge nominal fee) for one car registration number per property upto max of 3 properties ie. 3 cars with different registration plates. This can be done by issuing a special (CIQ) pass when properties are registered in the owners/investors' names. This way it would not deter investors from investing in JB. Each time an investor/owner changes car, he will have to go to the appropriate govt dept (ie. immigration dept) to change car label for a small fee. This method should deter jams at CIQ.[/QUOTE]

Here is my infor. To be confirm.

RM20/entry for their local insurance plus RM5 for property owners equals to paying RM25/entry. If start on 1st August 2014, how to prove ownership of property in JB. Wouldn't it be very messy for Customs at CIQ to try and verify ownerships by SG cars owners.

Malaysia considering vehicle levy of not less than RM50
Published on Jul 23, 2014

BATU PAHAT (Johor) - Malaysian Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Aziz Kaprawi has said that a levy on foreign cars entering Johor from Singapore was likely to be not less than RM50 (S$19.50).

He said a fee around that figure would be reasonable as the Singapore dollar was stronger than the Malaysian ringgit, the Sin Chew Daily reported yesterday.

Last week, Prime Minister Najib Razak announced that his government would go ahead with the introduction of a levy on non-Malaysian vehicles entering the country via Johor, at the state's request.

This came after Singapore announced on July 1 that it would raise fees for foreign-registered vehicles entering the Republic from next month.

But Datuk Seri Najib did not provide details on the fee and time of implementation.

Datuk Abdul Aziz said the measure would likely be implemented at the end of the year.

Malaysian reports earlier said the fee could range from RM20 to RM50, with Johor receiving a cut of the fees collected.

Mr Abdul Aziz said his ministry had received many suggestions and proposals on the levy, with many people feeling that RM20 was too low compared to the financial means of Singaporeans, the daily reported.

"We have also considered RM35, but the amount is still considered too low, so we are now discussing whether it should be not less than RM50, which seems like a reasonable figure," he was quoted as saying.

He said that the Economic Planning Unit of the Prime Minister's Department was studying the feasibility of the figure, and would then make a final decision.

Singapore's Ministry of Transport has expressed concern that Malaysia is targeting Singapore motorists by planning to charge only vehicles entering the country in Johor.

Singapore motorists, who will have to pay in future to drive their cars into Johor, have said the smaller proposed levy of RM20 would make only a slight difference to how often they went across the Causeway.

But if the levy were RM50, another proposal, that would be a different matter.

At least one visitor among the 20 polled by The Straits Times last week said she would probably stop going to Malaysia altogether if she had to pay RM50 to get in.

From Aug 1, the entry fee for foreign-registered cars entering Singapore will be raised from $20 to $35 per day.

The fee for foreign-registered goods vehicles will go up from $10 to $40 per month.

Sounds more like a hoax, esp the insurance part. Why is there a need for insurance now? Car Insurance not counted? Then past 30 years we drive to and fro both countries insurance actually not counted? Chey

Ya! I have doubt on the local insurance part (say RM20) as what are the coverage..
Our motor insurance already covered all the way to Thailand..
Really don't understand!!?

 

[PuteriWorld]

- Payment of 30% petrol tax on top of existing pump prices for sg registered cars.

This one I like. Petrol Warriors sure faint when they kena this.

all our car insurance policies cover whole of west malaysia. no need to pay again when driving to malaysia.

If such policy is being implemented, JB will become a ghost town. Imposing RM50 is already a very stupid policy to begin with.

What they should do is to think of ways to milk their Johor Sultan. All the money and investment flows into his pocket. Apply some federal pressure.

Do you guys know that Sultan of Johor get to pocket RM10K for each unit of condominium sold ?

I think it is stupid to add petrol tax. You are already earning good profit selling RON 97 petrol to Singapore vehicle. if you add 30% tax on petrol, all the car wash station will be the 1st to close shop.

I believe this is a hint that Malaysia's VEP fees could be effective only at the end of the year. I don't think there will be sufficient time for the measure to be implemented on 1 Aug 14. Hopefully, the Economic Planning Unit has the leverage to postpone the decision. But come what may, the jam could ease for a short period and then resumes again until they decided to bring people across by ferry or by MRT. I understand the people managing Iskandar Development visited Hong Kong and Shenzhen to study their development. But so far they have not acted to facilitate the links for people to travel into Johore.

I think they are still testing the waters when it is quite clear that the effect of any VEP fees is lesser business and investment in Iskandar.

Malaysian Govt should consider allowing properties owners/investors free access (or charge nominal fee) for one car registration number per property upto max of 3 properties ie. 3 cars with different registration plates. This can be done by issuing a special (CIQ) pass when properties are registered in the owners/investors' names. This way it would not deter investors from investing in JB. Each time an investor/owner changes car, he will have to go to the appropriate govt dept (ie. immigration dept) to change car label for a small fee. This method should deter jams at CIQ.

Seems like a pretty feasible idea.

 

[Gardener]

Wah, that means the state tax goes directly into his pocket for doing nothing.

Wah lau.

At Rm 50 Singaporeans wont bite.

Then they will learn their lesson.

Killing the goose that lays Golden Eggs.

The only thing which makes JB appealing to Singapore residents ( be it Malaysians or foreigners in Singapore ) is the word:" CHEAP "

Take away the word and JB is like a Kampong in Kelantan

correct. CHEAP AT A SHORT DRIVE OVER A BRIDGE.

at 50RM per entry, i'd reserve my trips to only longer stay (at least fri-sun weekend or longer), maybe once a month, and in KL liao. Won't go JB anymore.
