There’s still no word on whether there will be an increase in toll rates for the PLUS highways, as The Sun reports. Works minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said the government hasn’t made a decision on the matter.
“According to my earlier statement, there are eight highways entitled for increment this year, but nothing yet – if anything, we’ll issue a statement,” he told reporters yesterday.
It had been reported in March that a decision regarding the increase of toll rates for the PLUS highways would only be made in June. Last December, the ministry had stated that no discussion or decisions had been made on the matter at the ministerial level and that there were no plans to hike the toll rates on eight highways, but added that if an increase was not agreed to, the government would have to fork out as much as RM593 million in compensation.
Under a revised concession agreement (CA), PLUS Malaysia is allowed to increase toll rates by five percent every three years starting from 2016. The increase will continue until the concession period expires in December 2038.
PLUS has a total of eight concessions – North-South Expressway (NSE), the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), Federal Highway Route 2 (FHR2), Seremban Port-Dickson Highway, North-South Expressway Central Link (NSECL), Malaysia-Singapore Second Link (MSSL), Butterworth-Kulim Expressway (BKE), and the Penang Bridge.

Pilihanraya kan dah dekat, takkanlah kerajaan nak sebut tol naik kan? Kerajaan ingat rakyat bodoh?
jd akhir bln ni xder minyak naik jgk lah…
Definitely naik… I think 20 cents
Everything BNAIK and ministry keep laughing look at their bank account… Supporters keep paying taxes !
Cannot afford better dont buy car.
No decision on when to hike only. Don’t be fooled. You think is it so easy to promise tons of things in Sarawak? All need MONEY!
In Malaysia, in the first place, we don’t need tolls. Malaysia is a very rich country. Infact, we are super rich in resources. We got oil, timber, tin, rubber, palm oil, gold, kuprum, iron….you name it, we got it. Infact, we are 100x richer than Singapore actually.
But the problem is, few people are stealing. And these people stealing are stealing in the billions each. No more in the millions.
So, for these few people to get richer in the billions, 30 million people have to suffer with high cost of living, paying super high tolls etc.
We the 30 million people are subsidizing these few corrupted people. To be honest, just 1 corrupted individual itself can build a huge highway and that also, without tolls.
So, can you guess who these corrupted individuals are?
Everyhing gone up, how to survive. Why the bored samy not here to complaints.
Why don’t you also complain about high cost of living instead of asking to complain for you?
Or are you a crony living ahppily with your millions and buying 23 million pound apartments in London?
wow, what kind of English is this? Mana belajar bang?
Jadilah rakyat malaysia yang matang fikiran.
Harga minyak naik turun, apabila hal politik ikut serta maka x mungkin harga minyak naik mendadak dalam 1 bulan. Lain halnya dengan tol apabila adanya pelarasan nanti kadar baru naik mendadak. Sebelum ini kita lihat banyak lebuhraya naikan harga lebih 50%
OMG…possible toll hike again? thank you so much Mr.najis.
Wait till after 2 by-elections
Dun care, bash first.
Malaysia is the only country in the world where 1KM of highway can cost over RM100 million. That also, we use super cheap bangladeshi labour to make the highway.
In Europe, which is so expensive labour, 1 KM of highway cost no less than few hundred thousand ringgit.
Our crony concessionaires cry to the Government that making highway cost over RM100 million ringgit, so, our beloved Government pays these concessionaires and also give them 50 year contract besides paying them fully.
We all know who these concessionaires…..all cronies.
Copy and paste comment. Car blog also bring politic in. Kasihan.
Where do you get the data Philips? Mind to share?
the govt can’t be trusted….
You and me knows the toll will be hiked up. It’s only a matter of time.
every 3 year for plus. if no discussion.. means it will up 5%. If discussion took place .. then no rise.
Jangan risau my fren. Semua naik punya. Tol naik, naik harga, jadi semua org naik angin, naik geram, naik lemak, naik menyampah, naik darah, naik meluat, last2 semua naik bas, naik motor, naik lrt, naik basikal, naik sampan. Yang turun satu jer , $$$
Malu2 pulak. Naikkan lah. Tak payah fikir pasal rakyat. Nnti bila nk pilihanraya buat2 lah muka sedih. Mesti diaorg undi jugak…
Of course they’re going to raise it, otherwise why bring it up? Most likely right after elections. How much money do they have to collect until it’s enough?
Want to increase just increase. There is no need to put on a show. After all when you increase highway users pay. When you don’t increase everybody pay through Gomen compensation to the concessionaires.
One way or another the people will have to pay. Where else can they get the money if not from the people?
No hike in toll,then rumors come out that after Raya toll naik then terus govt official said no such thing then terus after raya toll naik
Pls recall bak dpm case lasts year
This govt think that they r genius actually they r v v cheap.pure cronies making billions by slaughtering our necks day n nite.they create scenario whereby every1 Kenna
just increase la! malaysians are very rich and understanding! when first increase they will make noise, but election time they will vote for BN!
We will change you if you don’t change
Just raise the toll. Malaysia’s toll rate is still one of the lowest in the world.
We still can bersyukur, yes, Mr Minister??
Lower the cars price la then…
Naik kan saja, lambat laun naik juga. Rakyat dah boring dengan teka teki naik harga. Kalau rkyat tak ada duit, tak pakai dah highway, meka akan lingkup juga suatu hari nanti..
No point dealing with these people, just remove the govt first, like Mahathir said. Anything is better than this cesspool.
