Deputy works minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan has revealed the cabinet paper outlining the direction of the multi-lane free flow (MLFF) toll collection system will be presented in January 2025, reports Malay Mail.
He added that the works ministry (KKR) has issued letters to highway concessionaries involved in the MLFF project informing them that negotiations would no longer proceed. “KKR will prepare and submit the cabinet paper on the MLFF direction for Cabinet’s consideration and approval in January 2025,” Ahmad said.
This comes after Ahmad said last month that a decision on the MLFF system would be finalised by December 16, as it required the approval of highway concession companies involved. Earlier this month, works minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi pointed out that the main challenge in implementing the MLFF system was finalising its governance structure.
The process is deemed to be complicated as it involved obtaining the approval of numerous parties, while also needing to draft the legislation for the system’s implementation. It was previously reported that 13 out of 33 highway concessionaries have yet to agree to the implementation of MLFF toll collection system. Most highways were developed by private developers who had financial backing from private entities, which adds to the complexity of MLFF implementation.

It is alright Ahmad bro. Let’s be honest, the rakyat does not place any hope whatsoever on a solid plan by the government. Feel free to extend “planning” to 2026 or 2030. Most of us have reluctantly accepted getting stuck in tolls anyway.
As above or is it another janji dicapati?

infrastructure privatisation, the legacy of our beloved tun m to feed his cronies
The only 2 problemS i predict that is happening now.. is
1. those who use TnG card or debit cards.. this system needs physical contact with the readers.
2. the cost of putting up the infrastructure of the MLFF and transfering the RFID and smart tag systems to the MLFF. The concessionaires do not want to burden themselves financially and thinking how to get this done FOC… whereas knowing ahmad… he is working out his commisions
New projects in boleh land… is always delayed as politicians try to get commisions for themselves… We havent forgotten submarines, helicopters and LCS ships
