Wednesday, 05 May 2021 12:31 PM MYTDamansara MP Tony Pua speaks during a press conference at Parliament in Kuala Lumpur August 5, 2020. — Picture by Shafwan ZaidonKUALA LUMPUR, May 5 — Damansara MP Tony Pua today lambasted the Perikatan Nasional administration for failing to follow through with acquiring intercity highways in the Klang Valley that could have saved it billions of ringgit in compensation to highway operators.
“However, because of the sheer incompetence of the PN government in failing to complete the agreement, we now have to compensate PLUS not only for freezing the toll rates which were scheduled to increase between 5–10 per cebt every 3 years, we have to compensate them additionally for the 18 per cent discount already implemented.
In the proposed deal, Pua explained that highway users would be able to enjoy an 18 per cent discount on the current toll rates without any increase in future toll rates, with the 5 per cent toll rate hikes scheduled every three years to be permanently abolished, immediately saving Malaysians up to RM1.1 billion in 2020, and RM43 billion over the entire concession period until 2038.
“In simpler terms, the government will pay nothing for the acquisition of the highway, as the acquisition cost will be repaid via the discounted toll collection over time.
Tony hv no rights to speak up now. During 22 months of pakatanharapan_ govt all they did was blame previous govt & didnt help the rebuilding nation. Only with denial or manifesto, corruption, power abuse & interference with judiciary & enforcement
Blamed is DAP only good...like LGE the Stupidest Finance Minister ever...All DAP is only good in blamed n fake manifesto n Lies to Malaysian
