\"PayTolls.jpg.728x520_q85\"<\/a>Remember the various news reports that quoted Works Minister Datuk Fadillah Yusof as saying that toll rates would be increased by 50 sen to RM2? Well, good news for Malaysian road users, as it has been officially announced that there will be no toll rate increase this year.<\/p>\n

According to Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, the decision to put off the hike is said to be among the initiatives by the government to help the public cope with the rising cost of living. However, there was no mention if the toll rates will be increased in the future.<\/p>\n

This decision \u2013 while no doubt will be well-received by the public \u2013 will however, drain the government\u2019s coffers as the Deputy Prime Minister was also quoted as saying that the government will pay RM400 million in compensation to toll concessionaires.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Works Ministry has been asked to look into concessionaire agreements to determine if it could negotiate for an extension in concession periods indicating that road users will still have to pay for a foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was quoted as saying \u201cthis is a long-term initiative to ensure that the rates would not be increased\u201d.<\/p>\n

Here is a timeline recap of the\u00a0toll rate hike announcement and the highways affected:
