More on the gateless gantry toll system – according to works minister, Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, the implementation of a multi-lane free flow (MLFF) toll system via Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is “on the right track for the 2018 target” and to a certain extent, the pilot phase mooted for 2017.
theSun also reports that Fadillah is confident that the complicated undertakings related to the RFID system “would be solved in the next 24 months.” He added that “it [the MLFF and RFID system] is a matter of coordination, for example on how we can link the system between highway operators, Road Transport Department (JPJ) and police.”
He then went on to stress on the importance of employing a uniformed method for toll payment via the RFID system. “By using the RFID tag, it must be linked with JPJ road tax system. It is important that it can read each other in terms of system development throughout the country,” he said.
When queried on whether or not the necessary law amendments pertaining to the implementation of the MLFF concept be tabled solely by the Works Ministry, Fadillah replied that the complete opposite is true. “Not just one ministry. It has to be by several other respective ministries and agencies,” he said.
Faddillah stated that a “certain agreement” between the government agencies revolving around said amendments, system integration and implementation must be obtained in order to ensure the success of the RFID system and, to a greater extent, the MLFF concept, including at border entry points.
Separately, theSun has also reported that, on May 27, the Association of Highway Concessionaires Malaysia (PSKLM) has voiced out the need for the government to amend the related laws before the commencement of removal of boom gates at toll plazas around the nation.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
All this RFID all not important. Already we got touch and go and smart tag cukup lah. this is just for some crony to make billions.
The question we must be asking is, where is Najib’s promise to reduce car prices?
Where is Najib’s promise? Najib promised 30 million people 2 years ago before the election that he would reduce car prices by 30 percent.
He said the 30 million people need not worry because BN always kept their word and never mungkir janji. He said if people voted for BN, he was 100% sure to reduce car prices by 30 percent.
Najib, in his speech told people that BN knew how much people suffered paying for their cars and he felt very sorry for the people, thus, he was sure to reduce car prices by 30%.
It is a well know fact, that we Malaysians are paying 3x the global prices of cars. And double whammy, not only we pay 3x the global prices of cars, our cars are stripped down so bad, it hardly lacks any safety features. Even our top D segment cars each have about 20 less safety features than the same car costing 3 times less overseas. For example, a 10 airbag Toyota Camry CBU in the US cost US$22,000. In Malaysia, this cost RM180k. And loads of safety spec taken out. For example Tyre Pressure Monitoring System and many others. Camry Hybrid in the US is US26,000. Come to Malaysia, should be tax free. CKD it using Malaysian parts should be even cheaper. But here sell RM175k
Now, what happened Najib? Where is your promise?
Najib also said that by 2020, we would become high income nation. He said our GDP per Capita would be US$48,000. That would mean, per month, the average Malaysian would be earning US$4000 (RM15,000) per month.
Raja Nazrin, Sultan of Perak said this was pure lies. He said it is an utter lie because 78% all EPF contributors are earning RM1200 and below.
Do you see the average Malaysian earning RM15k per month by 2020?
Excuse to hike toll rates, extend concession period in order to feed from the low skilled toll operators to the mafia cartel cronies i.e. concessionaires and financiers.
Abolishment of federal highway toll purposely forgotten. Klang KL bus rapid transit will take ages for the bureaucrats to execute.
Dependency on cars, petrol continue. Stagnating of salaries continue. Increase of living costs continue.
Klang valley will be like Jakarta all clogged up in no time. Wawasan 2020 is not a place and time to be.
What is the use have this sytem. The people manning it from the central base will makan nasi lemak and sleep.
this is what happened to our MAS plane. Even the important control tower also can miss the plane because the dude makan nasi lemak and tidur.
So, if plane also can get lost, you think the fellows manning the central system won’t be asleep?
so you like the current system la?
u sure or not?
even current Smart Tag people try to take advantage, by cheating, by tailgating, by hogging people like they have the real smartag, or their smartag has low battery or their tnG didnt top up.
How do u settle the above problems?
Do u have JPJ and Police backup incase the above problem arise?
Bet this system will be another failure… Rakyat are not stupid.
What Government ministers going to implant next? to rape Rakyat hard earn money… AND “not from donations like somebody” !!!
This is just to make money. It is always an UMNO contractor. Like AES, charge per camera RM2 million. 10MP camera also can cost RM2 million each
1. Nombor plat. Sekarang ada yg tipu ada yg nak baca pun tak boleh. JPJ kena keluarkan yg standard dan tiada pihak yg boleh keluarkan plat ni.
2. Sistem dah ada…kenapa perlu 2 tahun?
3. Janji tak naik harga tol walaupun lepas 5 tahun.
OMG…faster implement but make sure no problem. The current Smart tag really sucks…damn useless system which causing more jam…puihhh…
Crony siapa yang dapat projek kali ini?
