KL's better way of collecting tolls

 

WHILE using the Causeway on trips to Malaysia recently, I noticed a problem with the toll collection system employed by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA).

 

The slot-in card system is not effective, especially since, with the barrier always lifted up, ICA officers are unable to ensure that drivers pay the toll fees.

 

In contrast, Malaysia's touch-and-go contact-card system works better as the barrier goes up only after the toll is paid.

 

It is time for the authorities to fix this deficiency and update our toll collection system.

In the next few days / weeks, ICA will come out with drastic measures to curb this loophole/s, we have and always will be ' suckers ' as long as we live here.

our system is more for security...........the barrier is controlled by the ICA officer............if he feel anything not right..........he will not release the barrier............the JB one is you can just pull up touch and go even without showing them your passport.............which is safer????..........

I agree the guy talk c--k. The barrier is forever down. Anyway I left my cash card worth more than $50 in the machine and left w/o it.

 

Touch and go win in this case.

 

[TVT]

As I know, the SG side barrier is controlled by the immigration officer in the booth. When he/she finish scanning all the passport, the barrier raises up.

 

I know this because there was once I haven't put in the cash card yet but the officer was so fast scan my passport and the barrier goes up..........!

Some officers don't bother one.... believe they are more concern with the immigration procedure (checking no. of passport correct to the no. of people in the car) than to collect the toll money.

 

This is good because they more concern with smuggling of people, or illegal immigrates trying to sneak out!

Yup. the last 2 times I entered JB and returned back to S'pore the immigration officers came out from their booth to check the passports against everyone in the car........
