UMNO Youth proposes fee for S'pore cars entering M'sia

Malaysia’s UMNO Youth is proposing to impose a fee on Singaporean cars entering Malaysia, following Singapore's decision to increase the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) and Goods Vehicle Permit (GVP) permit fee for vehicles entering the republic.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s UMNO Youth is proposing to impose a fee on Singaporean cars entering Malaysia. This follows Singapore's decision to increase the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) and Goods Vehicle Permit (GVP) permit fee for vehicles entering the republic.

UMNO Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin said Singaporeans are not charged any fees by the government for cars entering Malaysia, while no action has been taken against those who did not settle their traffic summonses.

"Such action is not fair, because they (Singapore) should reduce and not increase the fee from S$20 to S$35. Why not we too collect some revenue from Singapore cars entering Malaysia?" he told reporters after chairing an UMNO Youth exco meeting on Tuesday.

He said the proposal would be tabled in the cabinet meeting.

Khairy said UMNO Youth would also propose that the government study a system that would prevent cars that fail to settle their summons from entering the country, just like the procedure practiced by Singapore.

"It is time to act, we are losing in terms of revenue, they don't pay the summons, and when they increased the fee, it was the call for us to act," he said.

Najib: VEP fee for all foreign vehicles entering Johor

JOHOR BARU: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has announced that the Government has decided to implement the Vehicle Entry Permit fee for all foreign vehicles entering Johor.

Najib said that the decision was made following a request made by the state.

"I have discussed the matter with Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and have also informed Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Wahid Omar of our decision.

"I have instructed him to inform the Road Transport Department (JPJ) so they can work out the details before the VEP is implemented," he said during a buka puasa event organised by the state Wednesday.

"We will make an announcement later on the date of implementation and the rates for the VEP," he said.

Najib also assured that a portion of the collection would be channelled to the state Government.

for some ppl not easy to get PR... and also it depends on your investments, getting PR have some weight-age on how your income tax is calculated

yes, everytime u have to show them the letter

GELANG PATAH (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - The proposed Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) fee for all foreign vehicles entering Johor Baru will have minimal to no impact on Singaporeans entering the city via the Causeway and Second Link.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong, said that tourist arrivals from across the border would not drop just because of an imposed entry fee and that Singaporeans would still come into Malaysia for cheaper food and cheaper products.

"Even with the proposed fee of RM20 suggested by Mentri Besar Datuk Mohamed Khaled Nordin, it is only around S$7.50 for Singaporeans.

"I do not think there is anything for them to worry about compared to the S$35 VEP charge to be imposed on foreign vehicles entering Singapore starting next month," Dr Wee said at press conference here on Thursday.

10 biggest factors towards getting a Singapore PR status under the PTS scheme
BY SATISH BAKHDA
Late last month, Deputy PM Teo Chee Hean stated in the Addendum to the President’s Address that Singapore will continue to improve its age balance and prevent its citizen population from shrinking. It will do so by welcoming new citizens who are committed to Singapore, share its values, and are willing to contribute to society. In return, the government will help them integrate.

As Permanent Residency precedes citizenship, professionals who are keen to make a home in Singapore should consider the following ten factors. Please note that these views are in no way endorsed by or represent to be endorsed by any Singapore Government Agency.

Your age
In light of Singapore’s growing ageing population, you stand a better chance of a successful application when you are young. This is because you will have many more years to actively contribute to society and can help rebalance Singapore’s resident old age support ratio. Furthermore, the younger you are, the greater the chances of socialising with others, and integration.

Your qualifications
As Singapore gets more and more qualified and skilled applicants under the PTS scheme, understandably the bar is going to be set higher. Degrees obtained at Singapore Institutes of Higher Learning are considered additional points in your favour. So is subject matter expertise or extensive knowledge in key/sunrise industries. However, this is not the only criteria considered.

Your job
The higher your position and bigger your responsibility in your company, the higher your chances of a successful PR application. Furthermore, the salary that you draw monthly indicates how well you can support yourself and dependants.This doesn’t mean that younger workers or PMEs (professionals, managers, and executives) don’t stand a good chance of approval. The government takes a holistic approach to reviewing PR applications.

The industry you’re in
According to the EDB, Singapore will increase its focus on knowledge- and innovation-intensive activities. In addition, R&D will become the cornerstone of the country’s economic development. As Singapore works to develop these areas and sunrise sectors, subject matter experts and talent in such industries will be valuable.

How long you've stayed in Singapore
Though you can apply for PR six months after you start your job in Singapore, it is better to wait, depending on the Work Pass you’re holding. P1 Pass holders are advised to wait 2 years, P2 Pass holders - 3 years, and S or Q1 Pass holders - 4 years.

Though this may seem like a long time, this timeframe can be used to assess whether you really want to become a Singapore PR. If you are keen and genuine, your activities during this period will easily reflect that you have been making efforts to assimilate.

Family ties in Singapore
Having your family stay with you in Singapore is definitely a positive factor and shows your genuine interest in maintaining close family ties. The likelihood of your family assimilating may be higher too as your children grow up and be educated in Singapore. In turn, they may grow to see Singapore as their homes and stay on as citizens.

Giving back to society
Volunteering, charitable works, and donations, for example, are important factors. However, please note that a one-off contribution or piecemeal attempt at volunteering does not make huge impact, and can be seen as insincere attempts to boost an application. You should utilise the time in Singapore to actively give back to society before expecting the country to take on the commitment of accepting you as a Permanent Resident.

Letter of recommendation
Based on your positive contributions to the Singapore organisation you’re helping, you may be able to get a letter of recommendation from one of its respected members who knows you well. This will shed light on your achievements from a different angle and recommend you as a valuable member of society. Please remember that a generic letter will cut no ice.

Integrate, integrate, and integrate
Why not learn one of the four local languages and get certified in that? It adds to your portfolio too, as there is a strong demand for multilingual workers and helps you communicate with your fellow neighbours. Also, don’t wait until you get a PR to take part in activities and celebrations organised by your GRC.

Is your application easy to understand?
ICA receives a large number of PR applications. To ensure that the ICA officer is able to evaluate your application properly and easily, all key information should be presented clearly and within 2 pages. This will give the officer a bird’s eye view of the application and anything which is unique about you.

Even after accounting for all the factors above, an application may still be rejected due to various circumstances. If you face a rejection, do not despair. See which areas you can improve on and apply again after a few months, with further data.

hi, your property expert is here ask yourself these questions 1st;

1) is it for investment or own stay?
2) if own stay where do you work?
3) do you drive?

=.=" iskandar is nearly the whole south johor.. except kukup and pangerang side...

it really depends on saihoe's intention..

besides HSR, MRT side would be a great idea too...

hmm.. central which area? tj pgr, raffles, marina side or orchard or city hall/suntec?

msia, for local selling rpgt is high at 30-15% below 5 years... as for buying there's the legal fees + stamp duty on s&p around max 3-4%... other tax/duty only applicable for foreigners.. other fees also negligible

note comparing sg-my... sg always pride themselves for hvng no capital gain but how the gov make $$$ is by charging stamp duty... they say it is a duty on your document not on the transaction... for layman it is the same, if u gotta pay u gotta pay no matter how u label it.. why put it that way? to attract foreigners to invest in sg..

also one big advantage if u r working in sg is u can use sg's bank to finance msian projects.. this works very much in your favor..

fiona jie cannot afford? dont joke ler... but i believe staying in msia offers more value...

for landed i would say go for johor west, not jb.. there's a lot of gated guarded housing estates that area extremely beautiful...

depends on field.. in general if u r making 4k, sgd3.5k is acceptable... but mind you in sg, bank roles are very sought after..

just try.. no harm... its free, all to gain ntg 2 lose

what do u mean? dont get it..

raise OPR by 25bp, its like sibor... so as a result some banks raise BLR by 25bp also.. well, true to a certain extent, u can always do financial engineering.. huh? why la buy until like that... those usually <rm400k landed will end up like that.. buy proper landed at the right segment then you will hv a proper place of course comes with a price.. like sg, rental yield in msia for landed is bad, u will get -ve cashflow, for rental high rise is better.. but of course i know of people getting +cashflow for landed but initial outlay is high.. yeaps, lots of msians bought as weekend home, weekdays work in sg.. weekend like a bawse in msia

ermm, rental can always nego.. problem is real estate agency mkt in msia still not that well regulated like sg, have to really find good agents to manage it for u.. meth lab? you're in luck... worse still it becomes a chicken coop

ini mau?
