Development costs have risen due to excessive fees imposed during the approval process.
: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar said that toll rates could be reduced if highway development costs are managed effectively and are free from leakage or corruption.
Anwar highlighted that highway development costs could be lowered, but have instead risen due to excessive fees imposed during the approval process. “This must stop. I believe for the next project, the Work Ministry and the Malaysian Highway Authority should ensure a more expedited approval process. This can be achieved if everyone takes responsibility and recognises that this is for the people,” he said.He said this when officiating the country’s first sustainable highway rest and service area on the North-South Expressway at the Seremban R&R today.
Also present at the event were Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, Deputy Work Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar, and LLM chairman Datuk Seri Hasni Mohammad.
