Toll restructuring exercise was not your initiative, works minister tells Pakatan after coalition claims credit | Malay Mail

KUALA LUMPUR, April 6 — The toll restructuring exercise executed by the government was not a Pakatan Harapan policy, as the plan already existed during the Barisan Nasional era, Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said.

In a statement today, Fadillah said that the government began working on the plan in 2002, while PH only formed its government 16 years later, in 2018. Since then, he said that BN decided that the Works Ministry, together with other relevant government agencies, would negotiate with highway concession companies to restructure toll rates on major highways across the country.

“This is because, when negotiations are carried out with a concession company, it is based on traffic projections and when a highway is completed and operational, then the actual amount of traffic will be obtained and used for restructuring negotiations. “The strategy of this structuring negotiation was to take into account the following matters: reduce inter-city highway toll rates in stages, the rising cost of living, the concession companies’ commitment , the impact on government liabilities and the highway toll rates,” he added.

Both party’s the same .. politicians hard to believe both

During BN every year naik....masyuk punya menteri...

Thanks PH.

Whatever it is if PH did not came into power for sometime than this restructuring exercise would have been shelved by BN without even knowing it. So PH still deserves credit for bringing this into light.

PH should be credited on Failed miserably in abolished toll. N Failed to Fulfilled the LiesFake Manifesto last GE. Shut up PH

There's a RM0.2bil difference in the offer & the anticipated valuation, according to one report. Do we have a problem here? The rakyat is asked to pay a RM200mil premium. Why? Is that additional amount meant for something like a side deal or what?

DOES IT REALLY MATTER? As long as it benefits the RAKYAT, we know who has perform well

Janji ada masyukkkkk🤑

Depends whether you're just talking about it or actually doing it.
