KUALA LUMPUR: Congestion charges or environmental fees for vehicles entering Kuala Lumpur will only be considered after a comprehensive public transportation network is readily available, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

"A traffic congestion fee - also known as an environmental fee - is a trend for mega cities. For example, in London, it is imposed on vehicles entering the city with exceptions given for electric vehicles or Evs,” said Dr. Wee.
