Does this look like a toll gantry? It does, right? These are pics from Gohtong Jaya shared by Vincent Chow from the Eat Sleep Touge (Chat & Chill) Facebook group, and it shows construction of a steel frame structure of what could be a toll gantry.
The image above looks like the tunnel inside the big Gohtong Jaya roundabout, going through to Batang Kali side perhaps? The image below looks like the side slip road going up to Gohtong Jaya shop lots, which is under construction now.
If it’s indeed a toll booth under construction, Vincent’s question is relevant. “My dear touge friends, your weekend drive (touge) session may just gonna start costing you another RM2.50 to RM3.50 more,” he asks. If you’re going to drive all the way up the hill for pleasure, and a cup of expensive coffee, what’s another few ringgit of toll, right? Or wrong? What say you?
Before you bark up the wrong tree, no, this isn’t the government’s doing – like the popular hill resort itself, the road leading up to Genting Highlands is private property, and Genting has the right to charge toll. But it has always been free – why now though?

drive up genting have to pay toll at karak highway, then another toll on twisty road to genting. once up there, got to pay parking. not worth it to go to genting anymore.
Shud charge entry fee to Genting Premium outlet
Alamak how to race?
Folks,havent you read the news that Genting Cruise based in Hong Kong have gone bust?
So,the natural thing is to recoup some losses there by charging toll,lor…for those ardent hardcore Genting fanboys.
Soon car reviewer has to pay toll to test racing car up getting highland road
ya, and tol gombak very jam because so many cars back from genting.
They are gambling by erecting this gantries. They bet it will pay handsomely.
Genting charging toll for extra revenue to make up for the lack of China tourist coming here to spend.. :))
There are plenty of property development around gohtong jaya, Genting does not directly benefited from these developement. it is a matter of time Genting charge toll from traffic
I seriously hope the roads leading up to Genting will be top notch. No uneven roads, no potholes and with proper lighting if they are going to impose a fee.
The toll may cause traffic jam.. ekekekeke
Sorry guys, no more Genting runs. Maybe another place, any suggestions?
That expected fee is punny compared to what he get from his viewers.
Safety hazards… I swear if it was me i will put speed bumps every few kilometers… They all talk safety is top priorities and go n drive like lunatics on oublic roads.. Dude… Respect your age atleast.. Life can bite you hard
in his videos, he hardly slow down at any speed bumps.
Not his car, why bother to slow down.
What a valid point.
That road open for public already?
Let’s go make money by cut throat rakyat as usual
Ever since LGT passed away, his decendants are sucking money like crazy
Don’t mind paying till but at least remove those dangerous downhill speed bumps
Toll or not people will still go and packed.. nuff said.
Well, no more genting run I guess. 2× Toll + parking fee not worth it.
Maybe the toll pay cars going uphill, another brilliant idea to get visitors. I’m dreaming right?
saya ULAM. Buka mulut je mohong
What is so special about Genting anyway…everything is expensive, even GPO is not cheap…nowadays people shop online laaa…be smart and spend your money wisely. Unless you are a hardcore gambler with plenty of money….dont waste your money there
Good, less people will going up there
oh no, now i no place to race my viewers car.
hi, i run a youtube channel when i race my viewers car up genting. why? because i think i am pro but i don’t have money to buy my own car.
so i use my viewer car to race and post on yt! follow and subscribe!
Another toll booth? Why not just set up for RFID only for MLFF?
It does not really make any different. If anyone intended to go up for gambling or holiday, would not mind to pay extra Rm 5 or so for the toll. So it extra revenue to the Group. Well, question is why now? Perhaps to recoup the investment for the outdoor theme park.
You champion ma….race against toll lah.
Business must be bad so every cents count.
Public road where can simply put Toll? Unless new highway or expanded improved publc road
IF private road can control who can pass thru
which cave did you crawl out?
Mostly comment not going after so manynegative things, but still packed as usual, cakap x serupa bikin..
Please charge toll at Cameron too. The road is so bad now bc too much tourists, is really affecting people staying there, the jam is ao bad also. rm10 per entry the best.
Nonsense unless you are not a consumer of CH produce! Only idiot wants veg fruits flower tea with inflation pricing.
