Malaysian goverment says not raising toll on four expressways next year -report

KUALA LUMPUR (Thomson Financial) - The Malaysian government has decided not to increase the toll rates next year on four expressways, including the North-South Expressway and the Penang bridge, the national Bernama news agency reported, citing Works Minister S. Samy Vellu.

 

 

The cabinet has agreed not to increase the toll rates, Samy Vellu was quoted as saying.

 

 

Eight highway concessionaires are scheduled to raise their toll rates on January 1 next year and another one on October 1.

 

 

The public works department said in an earlier statement the government would have to pay 380 million ringgit in compensation to the highway concessionaires if the toll rates were not allowed to be raised for one year.

 

 

The toll on the major highway, the North-South Expressway, currently stands at about 14 sen per kilometer.

 

 

(1 US dollar = 3.38 ringgit)

dun worry lah, they wun 1, by doing that, they can reduce a lot of problem like riot & etc. Although the money is still coming from the tax payer, so long that the people does not come out with the money DIRECTLY from their pocket, they at most grumble nia... that politic..

Most likely they will change the petrol price as a few petrol stations have a sign board explaining the price of different grade of fuel and the amount subsidized.

"However, the toll charges for six other highways/expressways would be

raised in accordance with the concession agreements, Samy Vellu said.

The highways/expressways are the Seremban-Port Dickson, North-South

Expressway Central Link, Kulim-Butterworth, Malaysia-Singapore Second Link,

North Klang Valley, Johor Causeway and Bukit Kayu Hitam."
