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.

I don't agree to abolish toll fee but somehow it can be lower down for maintenance and operation purpose

@teoct, are you mean that all profit from the Toll fees collected flow into bonus of EPF and UEM staff is consider fair to rakyat....

Take all the profits n enlarge the highway to 4 lane from the north to south to solve the highway capacity problems. Should not abolish the toll.

@Superhome, your suggestion is good but not practical, Gov need to pay Gamuda to stop them increase Fees, so you are suggesting Gov need to pay Gamuda to improve the highway....insane, how much compensation has Gov pay to Gamuda so far, how Gamuda use those money, pay dividend, pay bonus, what else?

Should lower the rate instead of toll free. It cab be done by lower their maintenance cost and Gov should review and check their maintenance charges...

Don't need to abolish but 60% off will do.

don't force on something not feasible. the maintenance costs will be the next headache to think of after taking over the tolled roads. without any revenue generation from tolls, government have to think of a way to collect the lost revenue to maintain the roads.

in order to fulfill the manifesto, abolish the tolls, but increase the road taxes to the business / industry vehicles to recover the loss of revenue for maintenance & compensation.

Janji ditepati , abolish tolls but they never promise not to increase other taxes mah.

Now with the ongoing Pan Borneo construction, it's FREE! No toll in East Malaysia. So, it's fair all road has no toll.

Look like a lots of amateurs' opinions, don't cancel or else no money to maintain lah OR don't cancel because it is unfair to all Malaysians.

OMG, what do they have in their heads? Toilet tissues? or shredded coconut fiber?

While taiwan is enjoying toll free highways & no one complain about it, now some many orang otak kecil complain it is not workable or unfair to the people if the tolls are removed.

Oh, some said it will attract mat rempit racing.

Why so many idiots in this country one?
