Comments express frustration over the government’s decision to pay RM559 million in compensation to concessionaires due to postponed toll hikes, highlighting issues of transparency and fairness. Many believe these agreements favor cronies and incur losses for taxpayers, criticizing the lack of disclosure and the questionable fairness of guaranteed profits and risk distribution. There is strong skepticism about the integrity of the deals, with claims that they benefit private companies at public expense. Several commenters argue that the highway projects have been profitable and question why they require compensation after years of operation, while others criticize the government for corruption, mismanagement, and unfair business practices. Overall, sentiments are predominantly negative, condemning the arrangement as another form of misappropriation and corruption.
