From June 1, the RM10 toll on the ASEAN Bridge that joins Miri and Brunei will no longer be imposed on Malaysian-registered vehicles, Bernama reports.
Sarawak chief minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem said he hopes this will reduce the burden on motorists who have to frequently cross the bridge linking Malaysia and Brunei.
“I would like to thank Shin Yang Group of Companies for their cooperation in abolishing toll for the benefit of Malaysian motorists,” the national news agency quoted him as saying.

According to The Star, Adenan indicated in the last state legislative assembly sitting in April that Bruneians make up a big majority of bridge users, and that toll charges for foreigners are likely to be maintained.
Opened in 2003, the RM178 million, 7.8 km ASEAN Bridge charges the highest rate of tolled bridges in Sarawak. Sibu’s RM3 Lanang Bridge toll will be abolished May 25, while negotiations are ongoing for the abolishment of Kuching’s RM1.60 Tun Salahudin Bridge toll.
All the aforementioned bridges will form part of the 1,000 km Pan Borneo Highway.

Bad idea.
Now PKR supporters gonna demand free tolss for Klang valley roads. The greedy will never be satisfied.
may I suggest that tolls be increased, especially the Puchong tolls. If you want to cross into KL, you pay the price, otherwise stay in Puchong. Macam sial, kerja kat KL, tapi beli rumah kat Puchong pastu complain jam. Otak udang betul.
Shin Yang already recouped their capital costs anyways. The rest of the negotiation is to determine how much Shin Yang or any other contractor going to get paid for the maintenance costs by Sarawak Govt.
The more interesting part is the Sungai Tujuh Toll, when will Brunei waive their tolls.
if toll free im expecting less than 20 comments. if tolled expecting minimum 50 comments.
hahaha.. so true!!
To those who have not used the bridge, it’s not a huge bridge and while complete abolishment is not the answer, 10 ringgit per car was terribly exorbitant. Source.: used to live in miri for 6 years
