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. Your thoughts on the matter?

Any abolishment/saving for the suffering Rakyat will be welcome.
I thot they would demolish it since they objected to building it in the first place…
Demolishing mean throwing $$$ away. Will any sensible Gomen do the most stupid thing in the world ?
No sensible Gomen will pay for roadworks then award a irrelevant private company to collect toll from it for 30 years.
Dey, Don tokok la. Every thing do oso is allegedly waste of rskyat money, but bila siap saja, tahu pula nk pakai/guna. Why not demolish he since no good In the first right? Why keep using something that was objected in the fist place? Why? Is it bcoz only one side je yg ada monopoly on good ideas? No one else got grey matter issit?
Even if its something gud like MRT, they will never admit it and pinpoint whatever weakness it might have, some even try all kinda ways to make it fail.
Deswai free Smart Selangorku bus, all ada pakai/guna. No matter got grey matter or not. Only one side je yg ada monopoly on good ideas in Selangor.
Selangorku bus was brilliant on paper but lousy on execution idea. No synergy with RapidKL bus routes and long intervals causing most of the time the bus running with nobody inside. If thats their best idea at public transport then its a failure.
dey Syam, tell them to fix the water issue first.
Why the need to dismantle the tol and booth…….just let it there without paying. The infrastructure can be useful for other purposes.
Demolish/dismantle needs monies and damages to environment.
Think rationally.
Sg Nyior toll within island oso they never abolish despite holding for 10years. Boleh caya ke this mana-festo?
Bila naik dipersalahkan kerajaan. Bila free kenapa tak puji kerajaan? Pfffftt
Janji atas angin saje. Diorang satu tol pun tak pernah abolish semasa pegangan 10 tahun.
Guna otak sikit……….tol semua under Persekutuan……..klu bawah kerajaan tempatan dah lama Selangor/Penang mansuhkan.
Pergi periksa perjanjian sebelum tembak.
Yes, nobita talk cock
Don’t be silly. SG nyior is in seberang Jaya, and its part of Butterworth kulim highway. You buy over the highway, you demolish the toll. Don’t be another dumb ass
Dun tokok. Seberang Perai not within territory of Penang kah?
OMG…to abolish the toll is not control by state government lah, is under BN now. Don’t talk cock here.KNNCCB
Another tokoklah. In Terengganu back in 2000, the state gov abolished toll at Sultan Mahmud bridge. That time was under BN gov kah? They been dangling this carrot for 10years, but dah reputlah. If they wanna do it, they will have done it long ago.
tganu toll are under state govt..not same like in penang..aiyoooo
Sg Nyior oso under state gov what. They bodo enuff to think we bodo kah?
Terengganu state gov can abolish their toll, why not island, hmm? So whos tokok now KNNCCB?
excuse me, INI JANJI LGE during 2008 election, he contests in Bagan Parliamentary seat which is where Sg. Nyior toll is. Sudah 10 tahun, from RM 0.50 toll is now RM 1.20. People not staying in Bagan tolong jangan pandai2 komen. If cannot jangan janji.
hear hear.
dey, lu kong hami? kanasai.
Haha bodoh tol 50sen pon kau tak mansuh
Tak baik bodohkan orang wahai si cerdik.. Yang penting kita ajar mereka perlahan lahan sampai pandai
kita ajar 2 ekor d’atas simpan ckit bodoh tu bagi cucu cicit2… Sekian
Toll bawah siapa? central government ke atau state government?
Tol Penang Bridge bawah State Gomen.
State gov. Tol Sg Nyior diorang boleh mansuhkan bila bila saja. Cuma kena bayar pampasan je.
Exactly, but no fruition. Excess money takdak!!!!
Hahaha! All these one ups. Lets see if bashers in previous article will spew their bile at this janji or not. I have low low hopes that they will be fair thou.
One thing: “TOL SUNGAI NYIOR” A failed and broken promises.
You are asking the entire nation to vote you in, yet you only offer to abolish toll in one state? Not sure if this is a real promise.
If they alredi gonna toll the tunnel they proposed, its not real promise.
Kasi free semua public transit la- ferry, tunnel, both bridges since they got so much money bcoz creative accounting, I mean ‘good governance’…
Hehehe. True bro and oso jual u-know-what.
Cukurr la ckit oii… kita ok.
Better or more realistic if the promise is to sell tolled road or tolled bridge to kwsp for RM10 per km or RM1,000,000 and for 999years. Any anything else that could be put back to rakyat direct control. Ini baru betul dan cara bijak sekali!!!!. Remember the claim from during a take over offer by a listed company that Plus repair cost is double of what it could be!!!. More than 30 years ago I wanted to ask why kwsp are not given a controlling when privatising are hot & in full swing!!. Not not smart phone mah! I am about to retire so will not benefit me but it will benefit all rakyat.
That time THAT person plan was to get money by selling gov properties AFTER they funded it. Much like current tunnel project. If sell to kwsp, its just left poket hole go right poket. Money tarak.
siapa buat perjanjian ni? Ketua PH terkini? Sila beri pencerahan
Penang ppl are not cheapskates…we have our honour..and dignity…we are use to this every GE..but we know what to do..we are not slaves to anyone…
Yep, we Penangites are not cheapskates. We like to pay toll like KL people also. So we keep Sg Nyior toll.
LOL.. sarcasm at its best!
ya correct, pg island people are kiam siap to the max!
LDP Toll FREE Kepong to Puchong to Kepong
BN O PAKATAN Rakyat KV kasih
Penang people are very sensible. The promised of sg nyior toll is a mistake by an ADUN. Not the state manifesto like your dear PM promised cars price to drop 30%.
BSlah. That means whatever they said cannot be trusted. So why vote them in?
Tol sg nyoir still standing but keep another chapati in place ah?
Illogical. Current remaining existing tolls are not abolished , thus this promise will not be fulfilled same as Pakatan Rakyat’s promise of abolishing tolls in 2013 which were just dreams.
Janji after janji. The BIG question is “WHEN”
I’m not sure why BN also promise this and that after election. Unlike opposition they are already in power for many years and still in power now and could have done whatever things that they are promising now and then. PH can play this trick, like abolishing toll, reduce car price, reduce GST, etc after they are elected as federal government but not BN.
BN promise things they can do. PH promises, hehehe… pikir pikir lah.
Setengah benda tu dibawah kawalan Persekutuan, jgn pakai tembak macam macai BN yg disuruh copy and paste.
Tak guna akal bila bercakap.
Lepas tu? Yg bawah kawalan Negeri, nape tak mansuhkan sampai 10 tahun? Macai PH ingat semua orang lain macai BN ke?
Siapa yg tak guna akal bila bercakap?
Stop drama. I got nothing more to say.
Why cannot abolish immediately? Hold 10 years already
Abolishing all tolls in just ONE bridge will create a bigger traffic problem… all cars n heavy transport would converge on the ONE free bridge and avoid the tolled new bridge. This is evidence that LGE doesn’t think things through and just give out unadvised blurbs as populist soundbites just to garner votes.
Kesas hiway in Selangor still have tolls, what happened? Pakatan promised to abolish the tolls back in previous elections. Start from state-level dulu lah!
just because pakatan control selangor state government, you think they have the power to abolish tolls within selangor area ? are you stupid? you might as well say that GST and income tax collected within selangor goes to pakatan instead of federal.
Terengganu PAS gov can abolish their toll. They din need to control whole country to do that. So why PH need to control whole country just to solve state janji? Gross incapability? Missmanagement? Fake news?
Dari 5 kupang, sampai ke rm 1.20 . Dua dua parti tidak tepati janji… Inikan pulak nak mansuhkan tol jambatan..nampak bebenor menipunyaaa.. Dari aku kecik, sampai dh beranak pinak ..
Hello all, please look closely at LGE’s statement…’..selepas mengambilalih Putrajaya…’. That is why Kesas, LDP or NSE cannot be abolished just by voting Pakatan Harapan into state government. Vote Pakatan into the federal government and let’s see if the toll goes
Control state but cannot solve state janji. So meaning they need to control the world then can solve country janji lah? Kek bertingkat tingkat.
