Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi has announced that there will no longer be any toll-free travel during festive seasons in our country starting this year. This means that the upcoming Chinese New Year holidays and other festive celebrations won’t see any toll waivers nationwide like in past years.
BERNAMA quoted Nanta as saying that the decision to scrap free tolls during festive seasons was made in a Cabinet meeting last year. In its place, the Federal Government had decided to seek a more targeted approach for Malaysians, with details set to be announced soon.
The Works Ministry added that the Government has also streamlined subsidies for a more targeted approach to benefit Malaysians. He was quoted as saying the above during a press conference after officially opening Section 2 of the West Coast Expressway (WCE) in Klang, Selangor, today.
