Singapore drivers flock to JB’s 2 new VEP centres as deadline looms, but tag installation ‘fast, organised’

However, he was concerned because he owns two cars and that his second vehicle’s VEP registration had not been completed. 

“I’m having issues processing the documents and it has been difficult. But at least I have done one car first,” he told CNA. 

A JPJ officer in charge of operations in Taman Daya told CNA that drivers with no appointment for tag installation would be turned away. 

“We would ask them to U-turn back because we are only processing cars with appointments, our limit is 600 installations per day and we have to keep to this schedule,” he said. 

“We urge drivers to complete their payment before coming as well, if not you might delay the process as you will need to make payment at the counter first,” the official added. 

Over at the Larkin complex, the situation was slightly more disordered as there was only one queue for cars to enter. 

When CNA visited at around 11am on Thursday, there were roughly 40 cars in line with the queue stretching back more than 200 metres on a busy two-lane road along Jalan Kebun Teh Lama.
