Another day, another promise. Motorcyclists using the Penang Bridge will be exempted from paying toll charges if Barisan Nasional (BN) regains power in the state. 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.
According to The Sun, caretaker prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the plan will be included in the Penang BN manifesto after holding discussions with state BN leaders.
“This will be included in the Penang BN manifesto after discussing with state BN leaders,” he said. He had also approved RM10.5 million allocation to construct a flyover for motorcyclists in Kampung Seronok, Sungai Ara.
The announcement is just one of a few motoring-related manifestos. BN’s Johor division also said it will put in place the widening of the North-South Expressway (NSE), increasing the number of lanes from four to six. This will ease congestion between Ayer Hitam and Johor Bahru. So, what do you think of this, guys?
This will never happen. We are better than your dangling bait.

Only country in the world where the ruling party can entice people with such things.
If you know people are suffering, why don’t you do it now? Why wait until GE14?
By the way, Malaysia does not even need a single tolls if corruption and stealing stops completely.
Every year, we lose tens of billions of ringgit just from corruption alone. That money can pay for every single toll in Malaysia
Your definition of suffering is not the same as that of Syrian, Rohingya refugees.
we are not talking about other countries now rooney. suggest you stay on topic.
Suffering does not mean you must be like Syria. Or be in the ghetto
I also suffer in Malaysia despite not in utter poverty.
I think most Malaysians suffer with high cost of living
If u can whine on the internet, ur not suffering lah.
pale butoh..just bcoz u can access internet then u r in wealth living..buta ka apa?go take basic economy class pls
That Penang Bridge’s toll still under state government, so cannot abolish unless they took over.
Free tol but GST UP!
Tax will definitely go up if we go back to the old sst of 16%.

“The” penang bridge?? Which one? Why not the ferry too?
Don’t think many will bite that bait.

eventually all tax payers will be paying thru compensation.
Based on his track record of eliminating tolls (batu tiga, sg rasau, bukit kayu hitam, cheras, eastern dispersal link) as well as building highway without toll (pan borneo highway), he has my trust on this. It’s time to ditch my car and hop on my motorcycle.
Why motorcyclist only? Why not for all motorists?
Lol.. in kl all Naik pulak
Better ask PM what happened to his promised that car price will drop?
