toll

Toll will be lifted on the North-South and East Coast Expressways while discounts will be given on other major highways at a total cost of RM77.11 million to the government and concessionaires.

They say it is a win-win situation.

Fadillah Yusof says the government welcomes private companies to take over highway concessionaires for this purpose.

This is expected to save the government at least RM4.3 billion in toll subsidies.

This is to facilitate the movement of traffic with the reopening of the Malaysia-Singapore land border beginning April 1.

An economist suggests allowing more e-wallet operators to offer their services in order to maintain competition.

He says road users must be given the freedom to use RFID, Touch 'n Go or SmartTAG.

The works ministry is targeting 60% RFID usage by end-2022.
