Was at Bangkok during Xmas. After Xmas holidays, took cab from Bangkok Downtown to Suvarnabhumi Airport. Taxi driver happily informed me Tolled highways were FREE FROM XMAS UNTIL NEW YEAR 2016.
Just a note to ponder.
And then hit gridlock traffic for 5 hours. Another point to ponder
First thing: the quality of that ‘report’ or slide or whatever – cents??!! thousand??? friend, you write RM thousands on top in brackets then just the number underneath. If not, just use ‘000. And we use sen! Bodoh ke bengap ni?
Anyway, throughout Thaipusam weekend, I had to use Penchala Link to go to KL. Spent in total RM20 in toll over 2 days. Seems Penchala link never got discount…
Still toll is so b__y f_k d__n expensive. No point giving once a year a few sen off. Just keep it
namposen? dueposen? buatpe? teh o kosong 1/2 cawan pon x cukup….
After whacking the Rakyat for 50% toll hikes last year…
Now saja wanna give a few cents back to us over a few days … It is still not cheaper than BEFORE the toll hike, mind u.
You really think RAKYAT BODOH KE ??
—Throw back the 60 cents to LDP & Sprint—
60 cent off… on the 8th Feb…
Is there anyone in town to use LDP and Sprit?
Estimate more than 400k user? How they estimate it?
Give la FOC for all tolls in the entire country. One day you don’t suck the rakyat blood won’t die right?
