UPDATE: Full list of reduced toll charges for all vehicle classes added below
Good news for those who use the KESAS Highway regularly. Works Minister Datuk Seri Shaziman Abu Mansor has announced that toll charges on the E5 expressway will be reduced from midnight today.
“Mulai tengahmalam ini, kadar tol utk lebuhraya kesas dturunkan. Kereta hanya perlu bayar RM2. Semua kelas kenderaan ada penurunan (From midnight, toll charges on the Kesas Highway will be reduced. Motorists need pay only RM2. There will be a reduction for all classes of vehicles,” the minister tweeted.
The 20 sen reduction means that Class 1 motorists will pay RM2 instead of RM2.20. Compared to the current rates of RM1.10 to RM4.40, the new rates will range from RM1.00 to RM4.00
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
So, due to this reduction, how much money is the Gomen going to compensate KESAS? Or how many more years extension to the contract? There is no free lunch.
He said the toll charges on the Kesas Highway were to have been raised to RM3 (for Class One vehicles) but Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak decided against it because it would place a financial burden on the people.
“The waiving of the proposed increase (to RM3) resulted in the government having to fork out RM86 million to the highway concessionaire, at 80 sen per vehicle, in 2012,” he said. (Minister Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor)
The KESAS toll rate @ 2.20 x 2 must be the highest in the country because it covers such a short distance.
Anyway, if toll is increased, highway users pay. If it is reduced or not allowed to be increased then everyone pays because the Gomen is going to use taxpayers’ money to compensate the highway concessionaire. Either way we pay.
Well, I dont trust a single word they say, or a report or anything they put on paper…the rakyat have been cheated for 50 years…
Yeah. Going to school, hospital, all cheats for the last 50 years…
Federal roads shouldn’t have toll at all. Pay to jam.
just another typical tactic to get citizens’ votes, doubt this reduction will be imply for long
How bout LDP? Wouldn’t that be long overdue and excessively overpriced?
LDP totally impossible , is a PJ selangor area which most many resident and commercial location, LDP is a FAT MEAT Same as puchong toll, bty it a great news for rakyat Cross a first step, now G know who the Boss now.
election is coming, now UNMO put up a great show.
The effect of KL112 gathering…I think they( BN have )had some sleepless nights after the event…
May be now they are even considering the idea of REDUCING CAR IMPORT DUTIES…
Hahaha..
election coming…
Bukan keh BN cakap Negara boleh Bankrup kalau turun harga tol? Sekarang terbalik pula jadinya…. HAHAHAHA
Pakatan Rakyat janji boleh turun/mansuh tol memang betul lah…..
KL112 affection , Stand up Rakyat Malaysian ,we deserve Better tomorrow
Turunkan bayaran tol sekarang???ni confirm gula2 pilihanraya ke 13
why not RM 1.50? too expensive la kesas.
It is meaningless if the Toll Concession is extended by 10-years. Just like Grand Saga, kononnya, abolish but in effect, the toll concession has been extended.
Not only will my son who just started school pay, my future grandchildren who is even yet to be conceive may end up having to pay.
Don’t rejoice until u see the full and complete picture.
Which means election is coming soon
brace yourself…
election is coming
cehh. 10% pun x sampai kecoh 1 malaysia
I would save 40sen per day.
That would be about RM96 worth savings per year (at at the rate of using the highway to and fro for 20 days in a month)…. enough to fill one full tank of fuel with the money saved on (2014) new year’s eve? hehe :D
After election, will increase to 2.50 because the price has not been revised since 1990.
This is what u get after saturday’s big KL Rally.
Shud have more of these Rally and more harga barang will come down! haha
and also harga hantaran kahwin…
when did the toll went up? I always tot was RM1.50
Before GE 13, cut 20 sen!
After GE 13 (if still win), increase 50 sen and extend 10 more year!
Yes! I would save 80 sen per day. But I have to pay rm8 from subang jaya to TPM is just about only 10km long.
Ape tu 20 sen? 2 bjk hacks je dpt….
2 bijik? Really ar? I thought can get 1 only.
My summons is more than the toll I pay for this stretch!
why not abolish it?
After GE13 increase RM1??
20 sen less! for both Toll stations? This is no loss to them. Traffic volume will increase drastically during CNY. Is there a fine print…..’permenently!’ or increase again if they wins GE13?
After the reduction of RM0.20 on Kesas, you’ll see a billboard on the highway that reads “Janji ditepati. Rakyat didahulukan. 1Malaysia.”
And guess who pays for the cost of the billboards.
should cap toll within city to rm1 max, after all most rds taken over within kl were govt built rds anyways..
I am dying to get on the KESAS to enjoy the “cheaper” ride…….KHHAAARK PTUI!
Waste our time. Waste our money. This time We won’t waste our vote against you
My Friends, the election is near!!
Wow!! Such a great saving. One day i can save 40cent. 1 year i can save RM 144 and in 10 years i can save Rm 1440 on toll
no worry after GE13, your sweet dream over, nightmare coming
kadar toll di federal highway juga patut dikurangkan..terutama di toll batu 3..
Don’t be fooled, Barang Naik rejim is trying to buy your vote for 20 sen.
I think the oldest, most overdued toll is the one stretching from Klang to KL… federal highway… that is where the major money is.
This this the sweetener for Election. They are using the rakyat money to compensate them.
There is no clause under all the toll Agreements to reduce toll except G pay the compensation?
They just spend the rakyat money and keep the debt up to RM 520 billion.
This mean that every one (28 million population) in malaysia own the world bank of RM 20,000.00 per person. If you have a family of 5 then the your debt is RM 100,000.00.
Just have to wait for the country to bankrupt with sucking cronies. (toll, Gula, beras, car AP, IPP…etc)
First of all..
Demolish all toll….
It will reduce rakyat’s burden by 200%
In the end this is part of BN’s game…GE13 coming soon
Federal Highway tolls are already beyond their concession period. Yet, toll is collected. RM1.10 at Batu 3, RM1 at Sg Rasau.
Now you reduce 20sen for Kesas, that won’t give any effect and will annoy the people further.
Too little, too late.
GE 13 coming! Hahaha….
My 4 years old boy boy at home oso know this is BN political stunt to buy votes.
shame on you, BN…
Little boy oso know what trick you had.
Vote PKR, we demand lower car tax, lower toll rate, and no corruption for cronies!!!
They giv u a candy to take away your candy shop…be smart in the next election ppl
every morning jam like hell still need to pay toll?
Should rewording your statement – every morning drive jaguh kampung No. 2 crap junk unsafe car at inflated price yet jam like hell still need to open door pay toll!
The other guy at the opposite end of the political ring say will abolish ALL toll ..Hmmmmm…I think 20 cent discount is not good enough for me la!
Sorry… next one please!
Baru baru ni saya memandu di UK….dari London ke Bristol…kemudian ke Liverpool….sambung balik ke atas…Edinburgh di Scotland…semuanya menggunakan lebuhraya…tapi tak da kena apa apa tol pun…toll booth pun tak nampak….macamana system disana ya?…bukan ke kita selalu mengikut sistem UK dalam cara mentadbirkan negara…mungkin kerajaan lebih mengetahui…..
well guys, do not worry to much. we just pay around 15-20 cent/km recently.
their contract maybe until 2100++….
that time maybe rm10-15/km
so our great-great grandchildren will feed them.
Thanks Kerajaan Malaysia which rules by UMNO/BN.
Very brilliant system suck current and next generations.
Apa la korang ni.. Naik harga bising, turun harga pun nak bising..
Dah tak pandai cakap terima kasih ke?
ckp terima kasih ngan sape? lutut aku?
kalo nk turun, turun ngan amaun yg convincing skit lar..20 sen tu??? sedekah ke? Kalo bg pengemis 20 sen, trus dia buang kat longkang..
aku nak tengok jugak pengemis yang kau kata buang 20sen dalam longkang tu…
jadi berapa banyak diskaun yang cukup convincing bagi kau?
Oh ya, aku nak ucapkan terima kasih pada kepala lutut kau yang telah turunkan harga tol. kerana kebijaksanaannya, harga kesas telah pun turun 20 sen. sekian terima kasih.
20 sen tak cukup bro…tak bg impak pun.
kat luar sana highway dibina kemudian ada tol tapi dlm tempoh janjian yg munasabah.5-10 tahun. kemudian akan diserahkan pada kerajaan. masalah sekarang nih berapa tahun janjian dgn syarikat highway nih? kenapa jadi rahsia? yg lebih sadis boleh berubah2 harga (naik), patut makin turun.
jadi bila sekarang nih turun tapi org nampak sebab nak elektion bukan sebab prihatin. turun pun sikit sgt. tak kasi impak pun pada kewangan pengguna lebuhraya.
The one and only macai bn here…go kill yourself macai…u are drunk
Reduction is good, but just wondering of this ‘surprise price’ reduction amid big increase in minimum salary corporates have to incur… oh I see, magic spirit of Malaysia Boleh!
Do they will really abolish toll after some years? Coz i never seen any toll abolish so far. Only adding each every year.
20 puluh sen. Pigi mampus la gomen. Take off the tolls in ldp la. Especially sunway toll. Puchong residents wanna go pj, sunway, subang or putrajaya sure kena sangkut like a mouse tap.
jimat arr sikit kalau aku travel nak makan satay hj.samuri kat r&r awan besar tuu..
