JPJ issues 1,489 summonses in VEP enforcement operation

JOHOR BAHRU : The Road Transport Department (JPJ) issued 1,489 summonses totalling RM445,800 during a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) enforcement operation at the Malaysia-Singapore border from July 1 to August 2. JPJ senior director of Enforcement Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan said 14,379 Singapore-registered vehicles were inspected near the Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI) and Sultan Abu Bakar Complex (KSAB) as well as in Johor Bahru city. “Of the 1,489 owners or drivers summoned, most failed to install and activate the VEP RFID tag. Many believed enforcement had not yet begun,“ he said. One individual initially refused to cooperate but later complied when officers threatened to seize the vehicle. Muhammad Kifli noted that nearly 90% of Singapore-registered private vehicles now have the VEP RFID tag. As of July 31, 277,930 tags have been issued to Singaporean owners. Foreign vehicles without a valid VEP risk a RM300 fine under Section 66H(7) of the Road Transport Act 1987. - Bernama

Philippine and Indian navies launch first joint South China Sea patrols

Philippine and Indian navies launch first joint South China Sea patrols

MANILA : Indian Navy warships have begun patrolling areas of the disputed South China Sea with their Philippine counterparts for the first time, Manila’s military said Monday. The two-day sail includes three Indian vessels and started Sunday, a day ahead of Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos’ scheduled trip to New Delhi for talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Philippines has heightened defence cooperation with a range of allies over the past year after a series of clashes in the contested waterway. Beijing claims nearly the entirety of the South China Sea despite an international ruling that its assertion has no legal basis. India’s naval vessels arrived in Manila for a port visit late last week. The patrol “started yesterday afternoon, then it’s ongoing up to this moment... the activity at the moment is replenishment at sea,“ Lieutenant Colonel John Paul Salgado told AFP. While in India, Marcos is expected to sign pacts in such fields as law, culture and technology, according to Foreign Affairs Assistant Secretary Evangeline Ong Jimenez-Ducrocq, but all eyes will be on any potential defence agreements. The Philippines has previously purchased BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles from India, a weapon which has a top speed of 3,450 kilometres (2,140 miles) per hour. India, which has engaged in border clashes with China in the Himalayas, is a member of the so-called Quad, a group that includes fellow democracies the United States, Japan and Australia. Beijing has repeatedly alleged that the four-way partnership, first conceived by late Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe, was created as a way of containing China. – AFP
