, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said users should be given the freedom to choose whether or not to use RFID for tolling. He said the Cabinet had discussed the issue today and has agreed that users should be given a choice of payment methods.
During the launch of the Keluarga Malaysia Agricommodity Tour event this evening, he told reporters that he doesn’t want any pressure on road users and he leave it up to users to decide their preferred way of paying toll. If they think RFID will ease their journey, they can make the switch. He added if a toll plaza has 10 lanes, some can be used for RFID while the rest can be used for Touch ‘n Go and SmartTAG. He said when TNG was first introduced, it wasn’t implemented directly and users were still given the option to pay by cash.
The Prime Minister said the Works Ministry has been instructed to reach out to the highway concessionaire to discuss the issue. He added that any matters involving payments in the future must be referred to the Cabinet.
4/4 : I wish our companies and government would give more though to such major project decisions before wasting so much needless money. Another big sigh ! IsmailSabri60 weekasiongmp
3/4 : RFID seem to offer zero additional benefits to the end consumers as compared to the TnG SmartTag solution which we have been using for quite a few years now, and RFID now seems a backward technically.
2/4 : Now the Malaysian Prime Minister says they will give the public a choice if they want to old or new systems. This, to me, is emerging into another white elephant project that was never thought thru properly in the first place.
1/4 : The RFID toll rollout in Malaysia this past week has been quite nightmarish. Despite the several years of prep time to get ready, there were a number of hiccups resulting in many very irritated motorists stuck in long traffic jams.
