Increase in Malaysia toll at Causeway?

[Drafting88]

It will likely become a reality if the ruling party retains its control of the state of Johor in the upcoming Malaysia GE.

New Causeway toll likely fodder for Pakatan in Johor

By Shannon Teoh December 07, 2011

 

The Causeway serves 69 million people annually.

Hrrrr....why not enough ?

 

RM2.90 x 50,000 vehicles = 145k riggit per day liao.

 

1 month 4+ mill liao........1 yr 52 mill.

 

Basket.........can built a new causeway bridge every year. LOL.

[ChickenMob]

can expect many business to fold up in the beginning after the new charges are implement.

this will also sort of hindering some of the friends who are pumping petrol inside.

jam + security issues + increase in payment, think will not purposely make a trip inside just for the petrol.

That is why they like to chu this kind of stupid pattern.......

 

Same as the white card things, now say no need, cause no white card available.

EDL costs 1 billion ringgit. Takes about 20 years to reach that amount, if it is 52 million ringgit a year. This does not take into account the interest incurred.

[Dumb]

No white cards for quite sometimes. May be no money to print and hence need to increase toll charge.

It may seen irrelevant but i just would like u to take a moment and read this funny SGvsMalaysia War Scenario

 

 

"It's 4am. The early morning calm is suddenly shattered by the deafening screams of low-flying jets. Seconds later, Kuantan air base is rocked by multiple explosions, followed by "secondaries" as Malaysia's air assets in aircraft shelters and revetments are obliterated. Klaxons blaring, pilots are scrambled to whichever aircraft that are still air-worthy, but it's useless. The runways had been cratered. In the ensuing confusion, reports start streaming in. It seems that this is not an isolated case. Butterworth checks in and reports that its entire complement of F/A-18D Hornets are now smoking, twisted hulks out on the tarmac.

 

And the entire Third Division which has overall command over Johor and Malacca had also been annihilated.The National Power Grid had not been spared, plunging the entire country in darkness, adding to the chaos and confusion. Reports also indicated that the Ministry of Defence building in Jalan Padang Tembak, Kuala Lumpur, had been hit by at least six GBU-31 1,000-pound JDAMs (Joint Direct Attack Munitions). Even the KLCC had been struck with such ferocity that only the Maxis Tower was left standing. On Bukit Nanas, only a blackened stump is left of what used to be the Kuala Lumpur Tower. Down in Johor and Malacca, the situation is much worse. A torrent of armoured vehicles, including tanks, are hogging all the roads linking Johor Baru to Muar and Kota Tinggi, disgorging armed soldiers who took over all the towns.

 

Senai airport, captured in a pre-dawn attack was being used by the helicopters and planes taking part in the on-going offensive. On the North-South Expressway, main battle tanks and armoured fighting vehicles together with towed artillery with fighter jets and attack helicopters providing close support were going north, destination unknown. Reports of troops landing from helicopters were coming in from all over Johor, from Mersing to Muar. By noon, Johoreans find themselves under Singapore military rule."

 

Ye Gods! Consider this.

 

Firstly, Singaporean Main Battle Tanks travelling along our highways? Which Main Battle Tanks? Singapore has none. Unless you consider their 120 1960s Centurion tanks or their 350 AMX 13 light tanks a challenge for Malaysia's Polish MBTs. MBTs obviously would not travel along highways due to their weight which would no be supported and the speed restrictions of track bound vehicles, unless of course you load them on tank transporters, of which again Singapore has a meagre number of. Huxley can throw in the Primus and the Bionix for all he cares, but i doubt these will make a decisive change in the outcome of a land battle fought in the oil palm estates of Labis.

 

A torrent of armoured vehicles? The US's 6,000 MBTs are a torrent. Russia's 40,000 MBT's are a torrent. Heck, even Israel's 1,ooo plus can be considered more than a fart. The Singaporean torrent? Of what? M113's?

 

Striking the KL Tower and the Petronas Twin Tower you say? Obviously Mr. Huxley has forgotten that KL lies over 400 Km away from the nearest Singaporean military installation, whereas Singapore itself, which is ever denser than KL and not to mention other Malaysian towns is easily within reach of Malaysian artillery and MLRS Astros. You bomb the towers or the tower and we turn your cities into a sea of red kiasu blood. Taking out the national power grid. I'd love to understand how Singapore's 56 F-16s and soon to be mothballed A4s (of which Malaysia chose to dump 88 of many years ago) can wreak havoc all over Malaysia.

 

I am also interested to know how Mr. Huxley would like to explain the Singaporeans annihilating the 3rd Division in Johor. Perhaps they have employed some of Tom Clancy and Dale Hardy's wonderful wondrous weapons that were featured in "The bear and the dragon" and their other fantasy adventures of American military might.

 

Next, our FA/18s in Butterworth, over 800kms away from the nearest Singaporean airbase will somehow be lined up at dawn on the runways, waiting for Singaporean bombs to fall on them and turn them into twisting burning hulks hulks of burnt metal. Sure, our radar operators would be asleep by then, all over the country and those pesky Singaporeans have no doubt been able to turn their F-16s into stealth platforms, perhaps stealing some of those nice coatings from their Lafayette class ships. Ditto too for our MIG-29s in Kuantan, all lined up and waiting for Mr. Kiasu to bomb the living day lights out of them at 6 in the morning.

 

What of our anti aircraft forces? Those blokes manning the Jenas, IGLAs, Starbursts etc. Sleeping perhaps, after all Mr. Huxley is of the impression that 120,000 Malaysian men in the military spend their days and nights sleeping away and limbo rocking at the nearest dangdut hangouts.

 

This really reminds me of one old NATO joke. A Russian general met another in Paris after having swept aside the initial NATO resistance and marched into the Fulda gap. One asked the other, "By the way, Comrade, who won the air war?" Huxley forgets the pedigree of the Malaysian fighting man, who has seen combat in the Konfrontasi, in the emergency, who in the guise of the Senoi Praq helped form the curriculum for the first US jungle warfare school in Fort Benning, who are known and accepted as excellent jungle warfare and fast improving urban warfare practitioners. Huxley forgets the adage that a man defending his country is worth so many more invading.

 

Huxley's believe that Singapore's conscripted reservists, many of whom have no battle experience and Singapore's virtually zero history of warfare experience will somehow rise to the occasion and conquer the southern portion of a country that is 6 times it size in population count is a joke. Truly, a kiasu sick whiteman, who wants nothing but to sell some tree bark down south.

The finger scan pattern lagi best

 

For your info, if you happen to Change to a new passport, they will ask you to scan your finger again, I kena last saturday when I went in.

really sucker

[Hamtaroo]

wah toll price increase to JB,,, like tat then better not go in anymore ..

[Carnut]

Good move to cut down the jams!

[Congo9]

 

You think they will increase the toll ? The businesses will be affected a lot. The business will fight the govt . It not so easy as Singapore, where there is only one dominant voice. Johor and Malaysia is a vastly different world out there.....

 

JB is very commercialised and the business association holds a lot of power and therefore votes.

[Car_accessories]

i doubt they will raise the toll fee....by than if lesser sporean go in....they will sure be affected!

[Congo9]

 

BTW, things inside are not that cheap. So , if you raise the toll. People has less incentive to travel there.
