TMC LIFE SCIENCES MULLS EDUCATION CENTRE IN JOHOR Posted on 29 March 2016 - 05:38am Eva Yeong PETALING JAYA: TMC Life Sciences Bhd is in talks with foreign education and training institutions to set up a health sciences education and training centre at Vantage Bay Healthcare City in Iskandar Malaysia. “One of the things that I’m very keen for us to do as a group, and this is something we are going to do at Vantage Bay, is to go into health sciences education and training. It is not just for the group; if we are able to do this, we can deliver that for the rest of the (healthcare) system here,� its executive director and group CEO Roy Quek told reporters at a briefing yesterday. He said many top education and training institutions around the world are keen to invest in Malaysia and the group is already in serious talks with some potential partners, including institutions from the UK and Australia. Referring to the health director-general’s recent comments on the proliferation of medical graduates in Malaysia, Quek said the issue is about the quality of medical schools, medical graduates and hospitals. He said the proposed education and training centre would offer medical and nursing degrees as well as allied health programmes. “We should have some clarity by middle or the third quarter of this year,� he added. Besides the proposed education and training centre, the group will also open a 2,500 sq ft pharmacy in Johor, to complement its upcoming 500-bed Iskandariah Hospital in Stulang Laut, Johor Baru. “We are going to have a large pharmacy there, as a kick-start for the site. We expect that when we finally develop the rest of Thomson Iskandar (medical hub) and the Vantage Bay Healthcare City, we will probably have the largest retail pharmacy operations in Malaysia there,� said Quek. The pharmacy will be ready in three months’ time and will offer various products including healthcare and personal care products. http://www.thesundaily.my/news/1742105

Johor conducts trial Vehicle Entry Permit run for Singapore vehicles
JOHOR BARU is conducting a trial run of its long-delayed Vehicle Entry Permit System (VEP) on incoming Singapore vehicles at its Causeway and Second Link checkpoints, which will last till July 15, Malaysian media reported.
During the trial period, which began at midnight yesterday, Singapore vehicles entering Johor need not pay the VEP fee of RM20 (S$6.60), reported Bernama news agency.
The fee will only be imposed from July 16.
Singapore Cars Entering Johor Will Now Be Subjected to A Vehicle Entry Permit
Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) system was introduced by Malaysia last Wednesday, June 1. This means that all foreign-registered cars entering Johor need a Vehicle Entry Permit to enter Malaysia, but owners of Singapore-registered cars don’t need to worry about the fee until July 15 because there will be no charges of RM20 (S$6.60) up until that date because they’re still conducting a test run.
The registration of vehicles for VEP will be until the end of the year, according to Hasni Mohammad, Chairman of Public Works, Rural and Regional Development Committee. He also said that 60 percent of the one million vehicles which entered Malaysia via the two entry points over the past two months were Singaporean vehicles. He also added that “each vehicle lane at the checkpoints was equipped with cameras and sensors to read number plates and RFID tags”.
There are more than 120,000 Singapore vehicles have already registered for the VEP since August 2014.
Meanwhile, Singapore has increased their vehicle entry permit charges for foreign-registered cars, it is now S$35 per day from S$20. They also increased the Goods Vehicle Permit fee for foreign-registered goods vehicles from S$10 to S$40 per calendar month. Vehicle Entry Permit exempts cars entering Singapore between 5pm and 2am from Monday to Friday. They also give 10 free days per year and there are no charges during the weekends for a foreign car.
The owners of foreign cars need to create an account at Malaysia’s Road Transport Department (JPJ) website at www.jpj.gov.my/vep for them to register. The owner/representative of the car needs to provide personal information and car registration details. They will now be advised on the collection of a RFID tag to be displayed on the vehicle’s windshield at JPJ’s designated premises after registering successfully. Please also note that there will be an administration fee of RM10 (S$3.30) imposed during tag collection, and the VEP is renewable every five years.
VEP in effect for foreign cars entering Johor
JOHOR BARU: All foreign-registered cars entering Johor from today will be subject to the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) but there will be no charges until July 15 when the test run ends.
Public Works, Rural and Regional Development Committee chairman Datuk Hasni Mohammad said more than 120,000 owners of Singapore vehicles have registered.
He added that each vehicle lane at the checkpoints was equipped with cameras and sensors to read number plates and RFID tags.
Anyone driving a vehicle with Singapore plates, including Malaysians, will be charged VEP on the Malaysian side.
“We also do not offer special discounts, like Singapore does,” he said.
In Singapore, each foreign car is given 10 free days. There are also no charges during the weekends.
VEP is exempt between 5pm and 2am from Monday to Friday while motorcyclists are charged S$4 (RM12).
Also taking effect today is a new directive that requires Immigration officers to personally check vehicles with multiple passengers, to ensure the number tallies.
Johor Immigration director Rohaizi Ibrahim, confirmed the additional measure was to beef up security and make sure the number of people entering and exiting the country tallied with the number of passports presented to Immigration officers.
Rohaizi warned motorcyclists to stop and present their passports for verification and has directed his men to arrest those who do not scan their passport.

Malaysia's Vehicle Entry Permit website faces teething issues
SINGAPORE - Malaysia implemented the trial run of its Vehicle Entry Permit System (VEP) on June 1, but it seems like it is facing some teething issues.
As part of the new system, Singapore vehicles entering Johor Bahru via the Tuas or Woodlands checkpoints are required to register for a VEP prior to entry. Each permit is valid for five years.
There are two ways to register for the VEP: Online on Malaysia's Road Transport Department (RTD) website or at the Johor Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex.
However, many Singapore drivers attempting to do it the convenient way by registering online seem to be facing roadblocks.
Netizens complained that the website either crashed or took a long time to load.
Matthew Tjow commented on ChannelNews Asia's Facebook page yesterday (June 2) that he went to the website and tried to create an account for himself.
He added: "...guess what?! the site crashed (sic)!"
