LETTER | The takeover of the four highways from the concessionaires is a financial restructuring exercise.

| In reference to the comments by traffic consultant Goh Bok Yen on the need for a traffic impact assessment study for the proposed takeover of four toll highways, I wish to state, with all due respect, that he is missing the point of the takeover by the government.as media reports had only been about the financial model of the takeover and the savings road users can enjoy.

However, this is not the case in the takeover of the four highways that is ongoing, namely Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong , Sistem Penyuraian Trafik KL Barat , Lebuhraya Shah Alam dan Terowong Smart . On top of that, highway users here would have to pay between 25 and 66 percent more in tolls if the Finance Ministry does not buy out the four concessionaires in the Greater Klang Valley, as rates are set to rise in the concession agreements. LDP rates will increase from RM2.10 to RM3.10.
