Let the onslaught continue, then – The Star has reported that toll rates for two plazas on the Besraya Expressway will be subjected to an increase on October 15. Come this Thursday, Class 1 motorists will be required to pay RM2 at the two Mines toll plaza – UPM-bound (South) and Kuala Lumpur-bound (North).

Well nothing new, just another attempt by the ruling regime and their merry bunch of cronies to extract more monies from the Rakyat. although cost per km has increased, but road maintenance is below par, with stretches of road either sinking, cracking or just uneven, thanks to shoddy workmanship. can us consumer seek recourse from these operators, should our vehicle sustain damage, due to utilization of said road?! Good luck with that!
Some much for ‘Janji Ditepati’ & ‘Rakyat didahulukan’.
