Only ghosts, LGBT will benefit from off-peak congestion charge, says Najib

The former prime minister says no one else would be awake to use the roads from 11pm to 5am.

February 26, 2019 8:25 AM Former prime minister Najib Razak on the campaign trail in Semenyih. SEMENYIH: Former prime minister Najib Razak has poked fun at the Pakatan Harapan government over its plan to replace toll collection along four highways with congestion charges, saying no one will benefit from the free “off-peak” period between 11pm and 5am. “It is illogical, given that the time for no charges is when people go to sleep.

Upon successful takeover of the highways, it said, the government intended to abolish the existing toll mechanism. The four highways in question are the Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong , Sistem Penyuraian Trafik KL Barat , Lebuhraya Shah Alam and the SMART Tunnel. According to the plan, congestion charges equivalent to the existing toll will be introduced during the “peak period”.
