The Causeway madness between Malaysia and Singapore continues.<\/p>\n

Early this week, Singapore\u2019s transport ministry has declared that it would continue to match any increase in toll rates imposed in Malaysia.<\/p>\n

This came in response to Malaysia\u2019s plan to impose a charge of RM20 on each foreign vehicle entering Johor from Singapore.<\/p>\n

Quoting Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan, a Channel News Asia (CNA)<\/em> report said that the long-standing policy is to ensure that Malaysia takes into consideration Singapore’s response whenever it plans to raise toll.<\/p>\n

Khaw explained that Singapore has consistently advocated open and liberal transport links and connectivity with Malaysia.<\/p>\n

For example, the toll at the Causeway and Second Link were introduced in 1998 only in response to Malaysia’s decision to levy toll at both crossings, he said.<\/p>\n

“The same principle will apply in our response to Malaysia’s impending road charge. If it discriminates against Singapore-registered vehicles, then we will match it in some form,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will confirm whether and how we will respond, after Malaysia has implemented their road charge and the details become available,\u201d said Khaw.<\/p>\n

Malaysia is currently conducting a trial run of the Vehicle Entry Permit System (VEP) from June 1 until July 16. The RM20 charge will apply from July 16.<\/p>\n
