No toll charges for all motorists who use the Penang Bridge. That is what Pakatan Harapan (PH) pledges if they win the 14th general election, according to a Facebook post by caretaker Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng.
“Vote for PH and toll charges for the first bridge will be abolished once we take over Putrajaya,” he posted. This comes in response caretaker prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s promise to exempt only motorcyclists from paying toll charges when using both the Penang Bridge and Penang Second Bridge.
“This will be included in the Penang BN manifesto after discussing with state BN leaders,” said Najib at the time. Currently, motorcyclists using the Penang Second Bridge are required to pay RM1.70 per entry into the island, whereas those plying the first bridge from Perai need to fork out RM1.40 per entry.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments mainly discuss the promise of making Penang Bridge toll-free if Pakatan Harapan wins, with some expressing skepticism about the feasibility and timing of this pledge. Many highlight that tolls like Sg Nyior are under state or federal control, questioning whether promises at the state level are realistic or just populist soundbites. There are comparisons with other states like Terengganu, which abolished tolls, to suggest it can be done. Several comments emphasize that existing tolls haven't been abolished despite promises, criticizing the effectiveness and sincerity of political parties. Some mention the financial implications of demolishing tolls and argue that demolishing infrastructure may be wasteful or complex. Overall, sentiment mixes support for toll abolition with doubts about political promises and implementation feasibility.
