GEORGE TOWN (Bernama): Toll reductions of 18% at all highways belonging to PLUS Malaysia Bhd from Saturday (Feb 1) is a step-by-step move implemented by the Pakatan Harapan government towards the goal of abolishing toll, says Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng.

''If we look at what we mentioned, that this is a gradual step towards the end goal. That's what was stated in the promises of the Pakatan Harapan manifesto. But this will definitely take time as we have to wait for the economy to recover, '' he told reporters at a Penang DAP Chinese New Year Open House here Friday night.

The sixth promise in the Pakatan GE14 manifesto stated that the coalition would review all highway concession agreements and negotiate to obtain the best prices to take over every toll concession with the final goal of abolishing toll collections in stages. Earlier, Lim, who is also Bagan MP, in his speech said the Government would launch a programme to stimulate the economy to ensure a sustainable economic growth.

Dad look over there. A clown! Son, thats not clown. Its a cow.

Ada diskaun 😁

Membongak je la korang sampai kiamat. Kerajaan dulu tak buat, kerajaan sekarang pun tak buat.

Every day the nation is offered 'sweets': the results can be seen in by-elections!

Yeah, right. Go plant more lies somewhere else. Longer concession period=higher compensation 2b paid.

Learn from the person you accused of corruption (Who's the real corrupted mofo now?)

U mean by extending the contract for another few decades

Your time is limited .

Typical of government. $wift in grab but super $low in releasing.

Yada yada
