Plus is own by Khazanah and EPF. Khazanah belongs to all Malaysian while EPF (indirectly) own by contributors that are mainly Malaysian.

Not all Malaysian use the tolled highway.

By removing toll (or lowered) without compensation, will be most unfair to the Malaysian (especially contributor to epf) that do not use the toll highway while they had contributed to the acquiring cost.

There are 32 millions Malaysian (latest data released not too long ago) and I believe at most half, 16 millions use the tolled highways. Is it fair to the remaining 16 millions? One can change the number as much as one likes, but you cannot escape the fact that there is a whole chunk of Malaysian given the short end of the deal.

Where is the justice to this?

And all of these highways are in the West coast where Malaysian have the highest income, can afford, user pay, so pay, please.

Have a nice weekend.

Yes. Honoring the manifesto is very important. Otherwise, the voters will no longer trust you next time.

Why not just abolish urban toll and lower the North south Highway rate instead of abolish all the tolls which will heavy burden to the new government ??
