Alongside the official opening of the new Damansara-Shah Alam Elevated Expressway (DASH) comes the news of upcoming toll rate reductions on six highways, as announced by prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob today.
Reductions of toll rates will be applied from October 20, 2022 to the Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH), Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE), Kemuning-Shah Alam Expressway (LKSA) and the SILK highway, while toll rate reductions from January 1, 2023 will be applied to the LEKAS and Besraya expressways. The exact reductions for the toll rates have yet to be announced.
The Malaysian government has also agreed to the proposed widening of the Kuala Lumpur-Karak highway from the Gombak toll plaza to the Bentong toll plaza for additional lanes along this stretch, and for the construction of a new tunnel in Genting Sempah to accommodate the increased traffic flow and thus mitigate congestion on the highway towards the East Coast, the works ministry announced.
Flood barriers will also be constructed along Phase 1 of the East Coast Expressway (LPT1), in light of frequent flooding on the highway. These upgrading works have taken into account the toll rate restructuring, and additional concession agreements are being finalised, the works ministry added.

Didn’t PH give cheaper tolls even before PN took over > Anyway dont copy others la and do it better.
Cheaper toll ≠ toll free as promised
PH couldn’t abolish tolls because of the RM1 TRILLION debt… tak malu ke
Keep harping on 1trillion debt but under PN & BN, we had been posting RECORD BREAKING YEARLY BUDGETS. Nak siapa bro? Tak malu ke
Najib tak bersalah. BN tak pernah tipu rakyat.
Betui betui betui!
BN take 20% but give back 10%.
PH take 30% but give back ZERO %
Patriotic rakyats know who to vote.

Are u telling us about DAP?
wakeup, talk nonsense is not helping to this country.
What the rakyat want is not just lowering of taxes but a Gomen of being a transparent and equitable to all races. Typical monkies only value what they can get, but it is important what we will inherit and not Gomen of Thieves and Thugs.
Bro, bring your anger issues elsewhere. this is a car site, not a politics site. i’m not interested in your frustrations

Even if cheaper by 10 sen there will still be a lot of mangkoks fall for it…!
Still waiting for the new rates with less than 24 hours
election wayang already started
wow wow wow wow wow wow… good news for rakyat? almost unheard of. ini kes tunggu dan lihat.
For the rakyat, by the rakyat, with the rakyat
please do something for other states. selangor people wont vote you no matter what you did for them.
The government responsibility is to build more road at their expense and should not have toll for too many roads.
Why the government let the consortiums to run the toll . The government should run it themselves.
Whenever need to remove or lower the toll rate our government has to compensate the consortiums or extend the toll collecting period.
All races pay toll but toll only given to Consortiums own by Malay.
We must not be tricked for this goodies and when election is over , we will have to pay back by some other ways to our government .
Please elect those who have good tract record and with integrity in the coming GE 15.
