To ensure effectiveness, KL should impose S$40 VEP fee
In reference to the report “S’pore will match KL’s moves on Causeway tolls” (July 29), I hope Malaysia will impose a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) fee of RM100 (S$39), for it to be effective.

The narrow Causeway is unable to cope with the heavy traffic, while the Second Link seems but a bridge too far.
