KUALA LUMPUR: There will be no increase in highway toll charges following the implementation of the Multi-Lane Fast Flow toll system, assured Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan .“This is because of the savings made by highway concessionaires due to reduced costs in maintenance, workers’ salaries, and electricity at toll plazas once the MLFF is implemented.
He reiterated the government’s commitment to implementing the MLFF system as a solution to traffic congestion at highway toll plazas.A Cabinet paper will be prepared once relevant feedback is obtained from the Transport Ministry, Finance Ministry, Attorney General’s Chambers , and the Public Private Partnership Unit under the Prime Minister’s Department.
He added that the government will also consider recommendations by the Public Accounts Committee to conduct a cost-benefit analysis for the proposed project. Although the PAC acknowledged that the MLFF would not completely resolve congestion at highway toll plazas, Ahmad noted that it is a step towards addressing the issue.
In December 2023, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stated that the MLFF project would be reviewed to ensure transparency and compliance with proper procedures.
