the following was adapted from the newspaper website:-
The toll rates for five highways will be increased beginning Mar 1, says works Minister Datuk Mohamad Zin Mohamed today.
They are the North South Highway, Sprint, Ampang elevated highway (Akleh), Sungai Besi and New Pantai Expressway.
Toll rates for PLUS highways will go up 0.68 sen per km.
The increase for Federal Highway Route 2 linking Batu 3, Shah Alam to Sungai Rasau, Klang and the North South Expressway will be 14.28 sen per km from 13.60 sen per km.
This change does not cover Bukit Kayu Hitam, Tambak Johor and Bangunan Sultan Iskandar.
Toll rates for Sprint Highway (Kerinchi Link and Damansara Link), Ampang Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH), Sg Besi Highway (Besraya), and New Pantai Expressway (NPE) will see an increase between 10 sen and 50 sen.
For Sprint highway, the increase is 50 sen at Pantai toll plaza and 30 sen for Damansara toll plaza, AKLEH will be increased by 50 sen, Besraya by 10 sen and NPE by 40 sen.
so… wat’s the moral of the news?
what can 30-50 sen buy you? nothing much rite?
so it’s not material to us…
but what can 30sen X 2 ways X 5 days = one plate of cheap lunch?
i know… i can get two pack of nasi lemak at natural…
so.. wat’s next to increase?
or we should take over all the toll company and ask them to cut on toll collection.
some research was done to check on the people's reaction..
most of them object..
why.. at this difficult time...
isn't the government is suppose to help it's ppl at difficult time???
anyway.. the country's money still come from the country's people...
so why not use it on the people?
so.. what our new finance minister have to offer in his new 'saving' malaysia package?
we will wait and see
