VEP & Smart Tolls – How RFID Works with Malaysia’s MLFF Toll System

What Is MLFF?

MLFF (Multi-Lane Free Flow) is a barrier-free toll system that allows vehicles to:

• Drive through toll plazas at normal speed
• Pay tolls automatically using RFID tags
• Avoid congestion caused by toll booths or SmartTAG lanes

Malaysia is phasing out physical toll collection booths, meaning vehicles must use RFID or other digital payment methods to avoid enforcement actions.

How Does RFID Link with Your VEP?

If you’re driving a Singapore-registered vehicle into Malaysia, you’re required to:

• Register your Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP)
• Install a valid RFID tag linked to your VEP profile
• Top up a Malaysian Touch ‘n Go eWallet (or equivalent)
• Drive through MLFF lanes where toll charges are deducted automatically

Your RFID tag must be active, correctly placed, and readable by scanners. Otherwise, you may be flagged for non-payment.

What Happens If RFID Fails at an MLFF Lane?

Without a working RFID:

• Your vehicle will trigger an enforcement camera
• Your license plate (linked to your VEP) will be scanned
• A fine or summons may be issued
• Repeat violations could lead to entry restrictions

That’s why MyMechanic offers RFID health checks and replacements, especially for vehicles with tinted windscreens, damaged RFID stickers, or improperly installed tags.
