Malaysia to implement VEP fee at Thai border
JPJ: Malaysia to implement VEP fee at Thai border
Malaysia will implement road charges and the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) system at the Thai border soon, said the Road Transport Department.
Its director-general Datuk Seri Nadzri Siron said the Transport Ministry was studying the matter and carrying out surveys on the number of vehicles crossing bordering states in Perlis, Kedah, Perak and Kelantan.
"JPJ as the executing agency has started its work at all the border states. It will be the same as how it is implemented at the Johor Baru–Singapore border.
"The charges would be the same, which is RM20 for every foreign registered vehicle entering Malaysia, and RM5 from that will be given to the state government," he told a press conference after the "One Community One JPJ" event here on Monday.
He added that the VEP, which will be carried out at the same time, would see a better record of vehicles entering the country.

M'sia and Thai to expedite bridge works
M'sia and Thai to expedite bridge works
Malaysia and Thailand will work to expedite the completion of the Second Bridge Link at Rantau Panjang-Sungai Golok and the New Bridge Link at Pengkalan Kubor-Tak Bai, said Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman.
During the Fourth Ministerial Meeting of the Joint Development Strategy for Border Areas (JDS) today, both countries agreed to adhere to the stipulated timeline to ensure that groundbreaking ceremonies for the projects can be held next year.
"In order for the JDS to remain relevant, we must also address the areas where improvements can be made and those areas which have been lagging," Anifah said in his opening remarks during the 13th Joint Commission (JCM) for Bilateral Cooperation and Fourth JDS between Malaysia and Thailand at the Grand Hyatt Hotel here today.
"Unless we can complete these two key projects, it would be difficult for us to transition from the current JDS Action Plan to the Second JDS Action Plan," Anifah said.
Anifah and his Thai counterpart Don Pramudwinai also exchanged views on cooperation in rubber including the establishment of the rubber cities and urged the officials to deliberate on a plan to link the two rubber cities to ensure that they could complement each other.
"As we move into the Asean Economic Community, it is increasingly important to see our common border areas in the context of how best we can take advantage of the increasing connectivity and trade investment flows in our border zones.
"In this regard, I propose that the JDS develop a vision for the next ten years on how we would like to see the common border areas developed," Anifah said.
The designated location for the rubber city in Thailand is Chalung Industrial Estate in Songkhla province while the proposed site in Malaysia is Ladang Bukit Ketapang in Kedah.
Both countries also reiterated their commitment to further expand trade and investment with a view to achieve the target of US$30 billion (RM128.6 billion) of bilateral trade by 2018.
The JCM and JDS are held alternately by both countries. The last ministerial meetings were held in Phuket, Thailand, on Dec 14 and 15, 2013.

哥乐游客欢庆泼水节
未受泰南爆炸案影响‧哥乐游客欢庆泼水节
（泰南哥乐13日讯）泰南哥乐镇今日同步隆重庆祝妈祖千秋宝诞和举办泼水节，而这之前在也拉及合艾发生的连环爆炸案，並没有令游人及香客却步，来自大马、新加坡、台湾、檳城、吉隆坡、新人等地的游客涌入哥乐，同欢共庆！
今年，正好是哥乐护国宫“壬辰年天后圣母千秋宝诞暨庆贺创会60週年禧庆”，今天一早，庙前就人头汹涌，参与各种风俗仪式。
值得注意的是，今年適逢五年一度大庆典，该宫也从本月11至13日，上午9时起举行上刀山，眾神驱邪消灾仪式。
盛典昨晚8时在护国宫广场前，邀请陶公府府尹主持开幕礼。今天则是天后圣母与眾神明在广场前接受600万炮竹的洗礼后，开始巡游哥乐镇。
36人参与爬刀梯仪式
今年爬刀梯的仪式共有36人参与，他们都以毅力爬上绑了12柄刀的梯子。
另一边厢，在哥乐一所学校前面，哥乐市长则与民参与泼水节，至少有2千人，包括教师、小贩及当地民眾都投入泼水的欢愉气氛中。
此外，大会尚有花饰摩哆车队，並有10名僧人主持浴佛仪式。
昨晚，泰南陶公府府尹吴启强在致词时表示，哥乐每年循例举行天后圣母华诞盛会，证明哥乐民眾是团结一致的，护国宫理事及相关单位所给予的良好合作及支持，还有对他们共同拥有的无价宝库，他致以真心的祝福。
他说，哥乐能拥有神圣及歷史悠久的护国宫，大家都感到自豪，而来自大马和新加坡的善信，每年不断地诚心来膜拜，就足以证明护国宫的地位。
杨金发：可促进哥乐繁荣
大会轮值主席兼哥乐海南会馆会长杨金发则说，庆祝妈祖诞除了保持地方上的传统风俗、缅怀天后圣母圣德，使眾人多勤奋行善，也加强团结一致的精神，促进哥乐的繁荣。
他说，该项盛典也有助於推动哥乐和陶公府的旅游发展。
