According to the a report by Bernama, the finance ministry will meet with PLUS Malaysia to get its views on Johor’s request to increase the number of lanes on the Yong Peng-Skudai route of the North-South Expressway (NSE).
Deputy finance minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan said the Johor state government was looking to reduce traffic congestion along said route by increasing the number of lanes from the present four to six.
“From Melaka to Seremban, there are already six lanes, while from Seremban to Kuala Lumpur there are eight lanes. (But) when you go to Johor, there are only four lanes, whereas Johor makes such a large contribution to the nation’s wealth and income,” said Ahmad Maslan.
He added that the federal government will also look into the state’s health needs (such as hospitals), flood problems as well as schools in need of repair. The Pontian MP will be heading to Perak for the next budget dialogue session, with this Friday (February 10, 2023) already set as the deadline for the ministry to receive proposals for the revised 2023 Budget.

What about slim river to ipoh stretch?
It should be a) slim river to ipoh, b) changkat Jering to juru, c) sg dua to sg petani. b snd c have traffic jam everyday. Only people who dunno about the jams are overpaid PLUS executives busy collecting tolls And these should be a gopeng to WCE 6 lane highway to bypass ipoh-kuala kangsar route which are also congested and jam due to lorries moving too slow going uphill. So by building this bypass, heavy lorries do not need to go on the hilly section of highway.
It’s like trying to lose weight by using a bigger belt
Induced demand
Reduce demand by making paying tolls is an expensive affair (the extra should go to Federal government coffer) that discourange people to use highway during weekend or introduce carbon taxes – they more you travel the more you emit carbon hence the extra charge to clean up the environment. I offer my advices on Pro Bono basis.
u really think that money will be use to clean the environment???? more like to patch roads or widening existing roads
Just increase fuel prices to RM10 per litre and the congestion will be solve
then putrajaya will be congested, all people go demo there. please think before speak la
