Penang Bridge toll – free for motorcyclists if BN wins

Penang Bridge toll – free for motorcyclists if BN wins

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?

        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.

          • 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

          That Penang Bridge’s toll still under state government, so cannot abolish unless they took over.

    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.
