The Toll Rates Increase….Again!

by CJCM on December 15th, 2006

I was having a good time with my family over dinner last night , while the TV was on with the prime news on all channels at 8pm. But my dinner was spoilt by the news of toll increase. Except for toll operators and a handful of ‘dumb’ politicians, Malaysians are disgusted with this increase. Malaysians have been burdened with quite a few tariff increases lately. Water bills, electricity bills, fuel prices and now tolls. And the stupid politicians always say the increase is marginal and does not affect Malaysian much. And that Malaysia still has the cheapest rates compare to other countries. To a group of Malaysian politicians, you are insulting our intelligence and for that I have already decided who to vote in the next election!

The new toll charges are: LDP, RM1.60 (previously RM1), L’raya Shah Alam, RM2.20 (RM1.50), L’raya Cheras-Kajang, Batu 9, RM 1 (70 sen) L’raya Cheras-Kajang, Batu 11, 90 sen (60 sen ), L’raya KL-Karak-Gombak, RM5, L’raya KL-Karak-Bentong, RM3 (RM2.50) and L’raya Koridor Guthrie, RM1.40 (RM1).
