Levy war

Other than the downing of MH17, the most heated gossip topic in JB is none other than the recent spate of new levy measures to be introduced by both the Malaysian and Singapore governments, which some have joked as a smokeless levy war.
What has become a reality as of now is that Singapore is to increase the entry levy of foreign vehicles with effect from August 1, while Malaysia will increase highway tolls at the checkpoints and implement new exit toll for vehicles leaving the country.
Singapore will increase the levy of passenger vehicles from the existing S$20 to S$35. JB residents driving Malaysia-registered vehicles into the city state on a regular basis will be the first to take the brunt.
Singapore's new measure is only applicable to foreign vehicles but Malaysia's new measures will affect both Malaysian and foreign vehicles. In other words, whether you are driving a Malaysia- or a Singapore-registered car in and out of the country, you will have to leave behind a total of RM16.50 at the checkpoints, both ways.
If we were to include all the levies implemented on both sides of the Causeway, you need to pay a hefty sum of RM1,267 a month if you are driving a Malaysia-registered car into Singapore to work every day (calculated based on 22 working days in a month). With the new measures in place come August 1, this sum is going to almost double to RM2,418 a month.
But their nightmare is yet to come to an end, because the "levy war" between both governments does not see to end anytime soon. Singapore government has made it explicit that if Malaysia were to increase the tolls at JB checkpoint, according to the agreement, Singapore is entitled to adjust upward the tolls at Woodlands checkpoint.
Singapore imposes two kinds of levies on Malaysian vehicles: tolls and entry levy. The entry levy will be increased from August while the tolls will remain unchanged for the time being.
However, with the above statement from the Singapore government, it appears that it is very likely for the republic to announce another new price adjustment: bringing up the current S$1.20 (RM3) toll at Woodlands checkpoint to as high as S$6.40 (RM16.50). This is going to impact Malaysians driving into Singapore to work every day.
As if that is not enough, the Malaysian government still has a new fee details of which have yet to be announced, i.e. "foreign vehicle entry levy." According to deputy transport minister Datuk Abdul Aziz Kaprawi, the levy is not expected to be lower than RM50. As this levy is applicable to foreign vehicles entering the country via JB, it is anticipated that the number of Singapore cars entering Johor will be drastically reduced, dealing a severe blow on the businesses and tourism industry of JB.
In short, ordinary citizens are not the only ones affected by the ongoing levy war between Malaysia and Singapore, as businesses will also suffer. The extent of damage could be far larger than what both governments have anticipated. |
