The government says that RM3.46 billion has been allocated for the planned implementation of a multi-lane free flow (MLFF) toll collection system, which is set to be introduced by 2025.
Deputy works minister Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad said that said a study will be carried out next year and would take between one-and-a half to two years to complete, according to various news reports. He said that the letter of intent has already been issued to concessionaires to ensure the study can be done smoothly.
“The government is striving to ensure the MLFF system can be implemented, starting with a study of its use in 2024 before its full implementation in 2025 to avoid the use of toll bars (boom gates),” he said when winding up ministerial replies on the Supply Bill 2023 in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday.
He said that MLFF was the future of toll collection, and that its implementation will have a positive impact in easing traffic congestion at toll plazas, because motorists would not need to stop or slow down their vehicles to carry out toll fare transactions.
He added the MLFF would also improve user experience through fast and efficient toll fare transactions, with an expected four million to five million vehicles a day passing through toll plazas on the tolled highway network in the country.
Last month, works minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said that that pilot projects will be carried out ahead of the MLFF implementation. He said that besides allowing authorities and providers the ability to examine technical and legal issues, it would also provide the means to trial multi-mode payments through various digital payment providers as opposed to a single provider.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Firsttttt!
becomes first to fit jpj standard issued car alphanumeric plate ok
All car will need install wired powered rfid tag (similar size to smart tag)
Singapore has been using it for donkey years without problems…
Here we prefer subsidising Boss cronies who give subpar work and then force us to support them for ages and when they encounter problems just use tax money to ask professional foreigners to solve their problems.
Need to conduct study on how to con rakyat and how to split the gravy.
Why should Govt spend 3B to facilitate faster collection for the toll companies. Make the Toll companies pay for them.
Who are the major stakeholders of those toll companies?
Totally agree. Cost should be borne by tol companies the that is collecting the tol money.
Also cost of 3b is just crazy. What makes up for the bulk of the cost.
If the toll companies do their own MLFF, you will have multiple MLFF tags stuck on your windscreen. And what happens when you have to get into a highway somewhere and you don’t have the tag?
It’s easier said than done.
What???
Why is the Gomen using our Rakyat’s money to pay for the privately companies?
Does this mean that there won’t be any more Toll collection as it’s not privately operated anymore?
If this is so, why is there a need for a toll system?
Strange things happens in Malaysia.
Nothing new lah. North American and European rakyat basically paid for covid vaccine research but big pharma pocketed the profits.
Same game here. We pay for ‘research and study’ and maybe even requisition and installation. Then we pay for use and make adik beradik crony pukul naik kaya.
No… Unless I’m outdated, epf owns a lot of Plus highway stock. I don’t want my retirement savings impacted.
I thought it is the toll companies’ responsibilities, not the government right? And why in the world they need to study? So many questions that will most likely unanswered. As usual
What is the point of this when the highway is always jammed with cars on the road not on the entrance or exit of highway. Use this 3 Bill to improve our road condition and public transport first.
Every time change of gov, same old story mentioned again, survey n study first. Previous output no pakai again, wasting money n resources. Whose company benefit fr all tis survey , better put the money in other beneficial way for the rakyat.
Remove the tolls and save the RM3.45. Win for the gov, win for the rakyat.
There has a contract between gomen and toll operator no use to kust abolish like that.
Use tax payers money to build new MLFF toll collection system, RM3b gone.
Then “force” tax payers to fork out more cash from toll both collection.
Then continue collecting toll for another 50 years just because they spent RM3b to built the toll system.
Suggest to just abolish toll system for roadways that has existed since donkey years and only collect toll for newly built highways.
Best part, during festive season RM3b ROI in no time from massive toll collection.
Govt: Win-Win
Rakyat: Loose-loose
luckily i got the RFID sticker for free by being one of the pilot testers. those who paid RM35 for it should claim back from TNG.
another new “technology”…RFID was claimed to fasten the toll process, see la now what happen.
“Fasten the toll process”
LOL..
Why KKR has to fund the MLFF? It should be the borne by the highway operators!
Lancau malaysia government…singapore dh puluhan tahun buat sistem ERP …dh puas lah SAKAU DUIT RAKYAT
Sudah lah…..ni pun cari wang rakyat saja
sakau or not .. I just want to know how the MLFF stop motorbikes from entering highway like now … or probably more motorbikes will ride on highways with the removal or toll booths … free flow for all … cheebai betul motorbikes on highways ..
