KUALA LUMPUR: The Transport Ministry does not agree with Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad's (KTMB) move to impose full adult fares on children aged above seven who do not possess student concession cards.

"We do not agree with the (latest) decision," said Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai at the launch of the China High Speed Railway Showcase at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre Friday.
