Najib : Tolls not good for Malaysians, should be abolished

(MMO) – Tolls are not good for Malaysians and it should be abolished says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak today.

He said he did not believe in tolls and would abolish tolls wherever possible unlike his predecessor who was a great believe in tolls.

“Wherever I can I will abolish tolls, it causes heartache and traffic jams.”

Najib however said that in order to accomplish that, he would have to unravel decisions made before his time as prime minister.

“I will have to unravel some legacy problems, I will unravel whatever I think is not of the interest of the people of Malaysia,” said Najib at the Budget 2018 forum on the economy at the UKM Medical Centre.

“This is why the Pan-Borneo highway does not have any tolls and we have abolished toll collection at the Batu Tiga, Sungai Rasau, Bukit Kayu Hitam and Eastern Dispersal Link routes.”
