The multi-lane fast flow toll fare collection system will be first implemented by highway concessionaire PLUS Malaysia, instead of implementing a single system across all highway concessions in the country, reported the New Straits Times.
“For the single system, it is quite difficult to implement because there are 33 highway concessions managing over 2,000 km of roads, with a significant portion under [PLUS Malaysia],” deputy works minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan said in response to a question in Dewan Rakyat.
Ahmad Maslan also confirmed that PLUS Malaysia will begin implementing their own version of MLFF in April as the Malaysian government continues discussions on the financial aspects of the transition. In November, Ahmad Maslan said that PLUS opposed the overlapping concession, and the highway operator stated it can implement MLFF independently.
Initially planned for implementation in the third quarter of 2024, the Malaysian cabinet has terminated negotiations with the operators, while works minister Alexander Nanta Linggi said last month that the MLFF system still needs further refining.
Earlier this month, the works minister said that the government has received several ideas and proposals on the implementation of the MLFF system, and also said earlier in December last year that the main obstacle to the implementation of MLFF was the difficulty of finalising its governing structure because as of November, 13 highway concessionaires were not in agreement over the MLFF system’s implementation.

Sudah lah dapat konsesi berpuluh-puluh tahun, payment system lagi mau cari untung. Ptui.
It is all pure capitalism but if that’s the case why bother having government if they can’t even regulate these profiteering clowns.
All these talk is BS if PH had fulfill their promise above.
Janji hapus tol = hapus sistem kutipan tol lama saja.
Bravo PH for successfully scamming so many gullible fools. I even knew young people who voted PH “so that we don’t need to pay back PTPTN” eventually having their passports blocked by the beloved government that they voted LOL.
Same situation here. People who voted to have tolls abolished will just get more tolls from the beloved government that they voted into power.
PH = Penipu Harapan voters
