SINGAPORE: Singapore will lift its Reciprocal Road Charge of S$6.40 (RM20), which will start from Feb 15, once Malaysia imposes its Road Charge (RC) at the Thai border. “Anyway, it makes sense for Malaysia to charge foreign vehicles the RC, especially for the maintenance, and wear and tear of our roads,” Ilango said. The new charge mirrors Malaysia’s RC of RM20 per entry for foreign-registered cars entering Johor, which was implemented last November. Meanwhile, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said he welcomed Singapore’s decision to lift its Reciprocal Road Charge if Malaysia also implements it at its other entry points bordering Thailand. In response, Singapore announced that it would also enforce a Reciprocal Road Charge of S$6.40, on top of the VEP of S$35 (RM109).
