Harian Metro quoted JSPT Director Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri as saying that most of the 49,598 summonses were issued to Singapore-registered vehicles.

Specifically, 33,033 summonses were issued to vehicles from Singapore, but only 4,391 of them have been paid. This means that 28,642 summonses issued to Singapore-registered vehicles while in Malaysia have yet to be settled.

In June last year, Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook reminded Singaporean drivers to clear any summonses they might have before leaving Malaysia.

Meanwhile, in October 2024, the newly enforced Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) RFID tag was spotted displaying unpaid summonses of Singapore-registered vehicles while they passed through the Malaysia-Singapore border checkpoints.
