Appeals and Waivers for VEP-Related Fines or Penalties

Introduction

Receiving a fine or penalty related to your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) can be a stressful experience. Whether it’s for non-compliance, an expired VEP, or another violation, you may have options to appeal the fine or request a waiver. At MyMechanic, we have experience assisting clients with these complex situations. This guide provides an overview of the process for appealing VEP-related fines and penalties.

Understanding VEP Fines and Penalties

VEP-related fines are typically issued by the Malaysian Road Transport Department (JPJ) for violations such as:

• Failure to have a valid VEP when entering Malaysia.
• Failure to display the VEP RFID tag correctly.
• Having an expired VEP.
• Discrepancies between your vehicle and the VEP registration details.

The Process for Appealing a VEP Fine

If you believe you have been unfairly fined or have a valid reason for non-compliance, you can submit an appeal. The process generally involves:

Step 1: Gather All Relevant Documents

You will need a copy of the fine/summons, your vehicle registration documents, your passport, and any other evidence to support your case (e.g., proof of VEP application, medical emergency documents).

Step 2: Write a Formal Appeal Letter

You need to write a formal letter to the JPJ explaining why you are appealing the fine. The letter should be clear, concise, and respectful. It should detail the facts of your case and why you believe the fine should be waived or reduced.

Step 3: Submit Your Appeal

Your appeal letter and supporting documents must be submitted to the relevant JPJ office. This may need to be done in person or through specific online channels, if available.
