QUESTION TIME | Many things still not clear at this stage of negotiation.
- QUESTION TIME | While one commends the government for at least trying to reduce the toll burden on the public, the sad and unmistakable truth is that some form of tolls is going to be around for quite some time, given the one that the government is negotiating for in Kuala Lumpur.
The government recently announced negotiations with Gamuda to take over some toll roads in Kuala Lumpur. These are the LDP, SPRINT, KESAS and the SMART. It is proposed that there will a congestion charge for peak hours which is the same as the toll charge. For off-peak hours - 11pm to 5am, there will be no charge while for other times, there will be a 30 percent discount. However, peak hours were not specified.
