I don't mind paying toll but I do mind is the payment method.....the toll booth itself is causing a bottleneck effect which lead to severe congestion....maybe instead of abolishing toll, they implement system similar to singapore's ERP so that cars can passed by without stopping or slowing down to pay the tolls. it can increase efficiency of economy
Keep the toll. Congestion on highways is getting worse, which defeats the purpose of highways. Also, highway's etiquette is getting worse. No turn signals when changing lane. Changing lane dangerously close to other vehicles. "Bagi laluan" has no more meaning. Allowing vehicles to over-take from the left lane should be fined.
It seems to have been a frivolous election campaign announcement (they seemed to make promises left, right and center); but it is a nominal toll that helps with upkeep of the Road system - why would they abolish it and cut out an important source of revenue... eat your words and say you made a bad promise, one you won't be able to keep. And stop making ridiculous promises in the future.
Honestly speaking, from a Grab Driver's perspective. I'd rather have the tolls there, because they do help to take care of the highways without any form of issue. Along with that, if there is any debris on the road, it'll be cleared asap by them as long as someone raises a complaint about it. I'd rather see the money being spent on some other projects which would benefit us altogether especially for the future generations.
Duh? Abolishing tolls=increasing private vehicle ownership would lead to an “unsustainable spiral”.??? People don't want to use public transport bcoz we malaysians are "malas naik public transport (especially buses)". It's more convenient using our own vehicles. And also, there's a lot of cars in malaysia bcoz the loan system for buying cars in malaysia are easy n cheap. Every new working young person would buy a car first, rather than other assets
I see larger scope about highway & makes me wonder.. Take PLUS for the matter, why we need to pay toll while the ongoing Sabah & Sarawak Pan Borneo is offering highway without toll??? Is it because they have lots of resources that can cover the cost & maintenance?
If you can replace KTM to a high speed train which may faster than road user on plus highway of course a lot of stops require. I will definitely take train instead of driving, this is likely what other developing countries does
Taking over the toll means government having control over the highway. I would suggest building a special bus lane (bus rapid transit) on the highway for the undisrupted public bus journey. Some highways are very close to the residential area. When public buses becoming more efficient, people will eventually opt for the bus.
Ideally I'd like to see Malaysia invest more on improving public transport and making it more accessible to people. I hope to see the government creating more initiatives to encourage the citizens to use public transportation.
At least the PH govt is going the right direction by initiating all avenues required to eventually abolish toll. It’s a monumental task we all know it. Having a congestion charges can work if we give it a try. There is hope in PH govt as compared with the last BN govt which aim to increase toll and do nothing to lessen the burden of the rakyat.
After the highway has been paid for why need tolls. To maintain the highways charge commercial vehicles more- like buses, coaches, HAIB trucks, timber trucks, tankers carrying palm oil or petrol, cabs pulling trailers with empty and laden containers. Charge them more for the road tax. With the extra income use for road maintenance.
the nation wants road but doesn’t want to pay toll, then who’s the one paying for that expensive terrain works, asphalt and workers wage? from the nation’s coffers? then wouldn’t that just increase our expenditure? hard to govern a country with selfish citizens that always want to receive and not giving. thats why PH are failing because they listened too much and not thinking the consenquences first.
Charges are charges. Just because the point of their existence is not the same and their cost lower does not change that fact. These types of fees impact working people, not the rich, and certainly not the people that work in Putrajaya and "represent" people in the Parliament. Scrapping tolls only to implement a congestion tax is stupidity of another level. Although, I've come to expect that from this sodding government. It is also absurd that the nationalisation of industries and utilities which are INTEGRAL to the development of this country necessitates compensation. These private companies have absolutely NO right to control resources such as water and electricity. Neither does the state have any right in allowing such companies to control them. This administration is a disgrace, and their policies absolutely nonsensical.
Haruka Sawaragi Deep inside we all know those are just empty promises from the start. People just pretend to be shocked now. This is 2019, nobody is that stupid.
strongly support this channel, THIS PROPOSAL SHOULD BE SUMBIT TO THE GOVERNMENT, and hope the new government will listen and do it in the right way. A lot of smart people from Malaysia are leaving to oversea because of the corruption, poor management from the government. ALL BECAUSE IS THE EDUCATION
Toll fees and traffic congestion are 2 separate things with entirely different sets of goals. Marrying the two in the same context is utterly illogical except to tax collectors and politicians
I'm fine with paying tolls. But what drives me nuts are these company profiting off the needs of the public. It's bad enough we don't have an efficient and reliable public transport for every parts of malaysia.
I disagree with toll demolition because highway quality will be significantly reduced because the government will be the one that handles maintenance cost after the demolition, and the government is so selfish to maintain their federal roads quality. Look at some federal roads, especially the old highway. SO TERRIBLE LIKE DURING WAR ERA! I think it's better this way.
You need to improve our public transportation system especially our buses. They ain't reliable away from the city centre especially after sunset. I would care to rely on a rapidkl bus to get around.
Govt shouldn't buy back toll roads but instead should use the proposed "buy back budgets" to build alternative roads to (1) stimulate economic growth, (2) ease congestions & (3) lower costs of transportation. Why throw "good" monies after "bad" monies to increase the "cronies" pockets & not the rakyat pockets? Think for the rakyat !!
I already know the previous opposite party (current) talk cheap. Now, even become government they still blame previous government and nothing changes (mana janji mansuh tol?).

Ok with paying reduced toll but never selling to private companies. The tax payers will lose a lot when private companies decide on our fate. Improve public transportation to reduce traffic which will reduce our financial burden.
No such thing as free lunch. Someones has to pay. Abolish highway tolls but increase fuels price. In this way for those who used it pays for it and subsequently reducing traffic congestion at all highways. At the same time reduces redtapes in others department managing taxes. Abolish roadtax too. Calculate all other taxes into one for the most efficient way as to not burden the rakyat. Those who used more pays more. Just increase the price of fuels to benefit the rakyat. That's my two sen opinion. Best regards.
Now rakyat marah ok because still got to pay tol ptptn and no jobs. New policy cannot topup at tol really help a lot. BN winning easily by just pointing finger and laugh hahahaha
sure traffic got problems. look putrajaya there already built 20 years yet no train system, now from kajang also traffic jam due to people who work need drive to putrajaya. even though putrajaya itself is administrative capital they dont even have proper public transport, not even 1 train connection with nearby towns. makan rasuah banyak, projek 1mdb berbillion, train tempat sendiri pun tak reti buat. sekarang hari2 jam situ. bodo bosskurr
Why spend on buses when you can give Grab credit to the few people who can’t afford the time and money to wait for bus and do not have their own vehicle. It will encourage mobility and reduce pollution if it’s mandated to be shared.
I don't mind paying toll but I do mind is the payment method.....the toll booth itself is causing a bottleneck effect which lead to severe congestion....maybe instead of abolishing toll, they implement system similar to singapore's ERP so that cars can passed by without stopping or slowing down to pay the tolls. it can increase efficiency of economy
Dont they have toll tags like in Australia.
Yea and ERPs are sucking Singaporeans dry.
For ERP Thank Jovina Choi A.K.A Auto-Lock Girl !!!
Fully support congestion charge system. If possible, channel the surplus money from congestion charges to make public transports better as well.
Keep the toll. Congestion on highways is getting worse, which defeats the purpose of highways.
Also, highway's etiquette is getting worse. No turn signals when changing lane. Changing lane dangerously close to other vehicles. "Bagi laluan" has no more meaning. Allowing vehicles to over-take from the left lane should be fined.
Agreed. So many road bullies these days.
Malaysia is one of the highest car ownership.rumah flat kete smpai tiga.good
Super agree on this

Very informational, well researched and balanced reporting! Keep it up!
This chanel man! So good! Well researched and execution top notch! 👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉
If you can replace KTM to a high speed train which may faster than road user on plus highway of course a lot of stops require.
I will definitely take train instead of driving, this is likely what other developing countries does
Thank you for the in depth information 😊. Keep up the good work 👌🏻
How is the government going to maintain the roads? I'm worried the highways will be in worse condition in the future.
Thats easy, pay enormous amount of money to overly marked up price subcontractors.
Taking over the toll means government having control over the highway. I would suggest building a special bus lane (bus rapid transit) on the highway for the undisrupted public bus journey. Some highways are very close to the residential area. When public buses becoming more efficient, people will eventually opt for the bus.
Congestion charge will not reduce congestion unless u provide an alternative which is better public transport
Agreed half of the discussion was ridiculous. I was also like wait.. How does congestion charge reduces congestion?
Ideally I'd like to see Malaysia invest more on improving public transport and making it more accessible to people. I hope to see the government creating more initiatives to encourage the citizens to use public transportation.
Yes that's why the goverment need that congestion fares to improve our public transport
To bind government on every detail is suicidal. The aim and direction is more important, where methods may change with options available at the time.
At least the PH govt is going the right direction by initiating all avenues required to eventually abolish toll. It’s a monumental task we all know it. Having a congestion charges can work if we give it a try. There is hope in PH govt as compared with the last BN govt which aim to increase toll and do nothing to lessen the burden of the rakyat.

Congestion charge like Singapore is more effective, where some may try to avoid and travel outside of the peak period.
There is no need to deflect away from breaking the promise of abolishing tolls.
Charges are charges. Just because the point of their existence is not the same and their cost lower does not change that fact. These types of fees impact working people, not the rich, and certainly not the people that work in Putrajaya and "represent" people in the Parliament.

A greener Malaysia for me. Less vehicle, we should have more Public Transport option, not only in the Cities but for states as well
The govt should encourage more people to work from home. That's the global trend right now.
Not sustainable.
Many people are not disciplined enough to work without being monitored and supervised.
EFFICIENT PUBLIC TRANSPORT ❤
who the heck that was so stupid to allow the private sectors to abuse and make one super lopsided agreements?
See who is in power during that time.

Abolish toll for passenger car only at the interstate highway like PLUS. For intracity highways such as DUKE introduce congestion charge. Simple.
You need to improve our public transportation system especially our buses. They ain't reliable away from the city centre especially after sunset. I would care to rely on a rapidkl bus to get around.
Yes more efficient and reliable rapid KL

The private comp is GLC, govt already, why govt pay again ?
This shows that GLC doesn't work. Most GLCs do not have the ability to repay their loans. That's why a reform is needed.

I agree with Dr Law Teik Hua(@6:10) 100%. You can never satisfy everyone: P.
Mase najib buat spad untuk naikkan kualiti public transport korang memekak.. skang sibuk kate publik transport nak kene ade kualiti.. lancaw..
Sooooo....copy Singapore yet again?
If it works, it works
If it works, it works
Toll cannot abolish because people are rich mah 6% don’t want,want 10%
sure traffic got problems. look putrajaya there already built 20 years yet no train system, now from kajang also traffic jam due to people who work need drive to putrajaya. even though putrajaya itself is administrative capital they dont even have proper public transport, not even 1 train connection with nearby towns. makan rasuah banyak, projek 1mdb berbillion, train tempat sendiri pun tak reti buat. sekarang hari2 jam situ. bodo bosskurr
