Azmin: Govt will only accept PLUS take-over if new owner can guarantee abolishing tolls


KUALA LUMPUR: The government will only accept private companies taking over PLUS Malaysia Bhd, the country’s biggest expressway toll concessionaire, if they can guarantee to abolish tolls.

Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said that it would contradict Pakatan Harapan's manifesto if PLUS was sold to a private entity that would still charge tolls or hike up the rates.
