The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has announced that from 1 August 2014 onwards, drivers driving into Singapore will expect to pay an additional S$15 dollars per day for the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) and S$30 dollars per month for the Goods Vehicle Permit (GVP) fee.
The agency states that the cost difference has widened in recent years, giving rise to the need to revise the VEP and the GVP fee. As part of LTA’s latest review, the VEP fee for foreign-registered cars entering Singapore will be revised from S$20 to S$35 per day, and the GVP fee for foreign-registered goods vehicles will be revised from S$10 to S$40 per calendar month, starting from 1 August 2014.  The periodical review of the foreign vehicle permit fees to ensure that the cost of owning and using a foreign registered vehicle in Singapore is commensurate with that of owning and using a Singapore-registered vehicle.
Revised VEP Fee
The VEP-chargeable hours will remain unchanged: from 2am to 12 noon on weekdays during Singapore’s June and December school holidays, and from 2am to 5pm on weekdays outside these two school holiday periods.
The VEP fee increase only applies to foreign-registered cars and will not affect buses or taxis.  The VEP fee for foreign-registered motorcycles will remain the same at S$4 per day.  All foreign-registered cars and motorcycles will continue to enjoy the following VEP-free days and VEP-free hours:

  • Saturdays, Sundays and Singapore Public Holidays;
  • Normal weekdays per calendar year; and
  • Between 5pm and 2am on all other days (these VEP-free hours are extended to start at 12 noon instead of 5pm during the June and December Singapore school holidays).

Revised GVP Fee
Owners of foreign-registered goods vehicles can continue to purchase the GVP at the current fee of S$10 for July 2014. However, any GVP with a validity period beyond July 2014 will be charged at S$40 per calendar month.
LTA will continue to periodically review the VEP and GVP fees to take into account changes in ownership and usage costs of foreign-registered and Singapore-registered vehicles.
More information on the revised VEP and GVP fees for foreign-registered cars and goods vehicles is available at the Woodlands and Tuas Checkpoints. Motorists can also visit www.lta.gov.sg > ‘Roads & Motoring’ > ‘Driving In and Out of Singapore’, or contact LTA at 1800-2255 582 (1800-CALL LTA) if in Singapore, or 65-62255 582 if calling from other countries.

留澳物理治疗师刚回国 拒戴口罩妇面四控状

曾于周日(5月3日)在顺福熟食中心,因拒绝戴口罩而和民众起争执的40岁妇女,今天(5月5日)在法庭面对四项控状,分别是违反冠状病毒19(临时措施)法令的三项控状,以及一项公共滋扰罪。 被告峇任婕(Paramjeet Kaur)上周日(5月3日)到顺福熟食中心用餐,被一名豆干小贩的女儿提醒戴口罩后,反应激烈骂对方多管闲事而起争执。 警方受询时证实接获民众投报,指有人在顺福熟食中心没戴口罩而和他人起争执。警方于昨晚9时,依据违反阻断措施法令和造成公共自然的罪名,将被告逮捕归案,还押至今。 据被告母亲表示,女儿是本地出生长大,一直到20岁从理工学院毕业后,到澳大利亚深造,并担任物理治疗师。去年才返回我国。 然而,一旦违反了阻断措施法令,罚款将不超过1万元,或监禁不超过六个月,或两者兼施;若公共滋扰罪成,则有可能面对不超过2000元的罚款。 被告今午是通过视像系统“出庭”面控,穿着黑色上衣并戴着蓝色口罩,但是在审讯过程中,她多次把口罩拉下。 她在庭上并未表明是否认罪,但是控方要求将被告还押到心理卫生学院两周,已进行心理评估。法官同意控方要求,将案件展延道5月19日过堂。 峇任婕曾于4月14日早上9时25分,在顺福熟食中心内享用糯米饭时,因没戴口罩被警员提醒,岂止她反而拿起手机反拍。 她的举动被旁人拍下后,上传到社交媒体上,引起网民谴责。
