Avoid these 4 mistakes when collecting your VEP RFID tag in Paradigm Mall (JB, Malaysia)

 

Wef from 1st Nov 2024, you can collect your VEP RFID tag in Paradigm Mall.

Mistake 1: Do not enter the first parking entrance. Instead, turn right and drive toward the Hotel parking entrance.

Continue drive straight all the way

Turn Left into the Hotel carpark

Drive very slowly. Steep slope from Level 1 to Level 7.

Look like Roller coaster scene right? :p

Mistake 2: DO NOT join the Q first. You need to get your documents verified at the VEP counter.

If you are alone, park your car and walk toward the top left corner of the mall entrance (near Level 7 cinema). 

Recommend to park near the car park gantry if there is a super long Q (especially on weekend), else you will be stuck in the jam trying to drive in and stuck in the jam again trying to drive out to join the Q.

If you have someone else in the car, ask them to walk toward the top left corner of the mall entrance (near Level 7 cinema) to get Q number.

Mistake 3:Did not print out hardcopy of your appointment slip + passport.

They charge RM4 per piece if you did not print out the required documents.

Once they verified your appointment slip, the staff will sign on the appointment slip.

You can go back to your car and join the Q.

When you are the first 2 cars of your line, you need to align and collect your physical VEP RFID tag at the counter on the top right corner. 

One of the staff will help you paste the VEP tag inside your windscreen.

Mistake 4: Do not throw away the serial number slip.

You are to follow the instruction to activate the VEP tag on your own.
