Good deal for Plus, but what’s in store for Malaysians?

over selling off Plus Expressways Bhd is over - for an 18 percent discount on toll rates with a whopping 20-year extension on the concession. If there was anything to say about this, it shows that the government truly sucks at full-on negotiations when it comes to the tolls.MRT2 project

Perhaps the works minister would like to clarify - how much would Malaysians actually be paying with an 18 percent discount without the ability of government to negotiate concessions for another 20 years? The ability to have cameras on highways monitoring emissions would then allow the policing of emissions on cars and heavy vehicles on highways, which would be good both for the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Climate Change .

Subsequently, companies would also have to fork out more for services, services thrive and ask for more vocational trainees to help with the maintenance works of heavy vehicles and cars, you get more people employed.

Surely Malaysians is not expecting 770km of toll free NS highway. If they do, then either 1) It will be poorly maintained like MRR2 or 2) The maintenance cost will still come from taxpayers in another tax form Reducing rates by extending concession is a good alternative

We still have to pay toll
