Gov’t to negotiate toll reductions after ROI, says Works Minister

Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi announced that the government plans to negotiate with highway concession companies to reduce toll rates once they achieve their return on investment (ROI). He explained that while tolls are necessary to repay loans used for highway development, reductions can be considered after ROI is reached. However, eliminating tolls entirely could affect highway maintenance, which relies on toll revenue. Alexander also urged highway companies to enhance services and highlighted the launch of the Seremban R&R (Southbound), Malaysia’s first sustainable rest area, featuring green technologies like solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations.
