KUALA LUMPUR: Claims that highway users will be paying toll indefinitely following the restructuring of four companies with an extension of the concession period are untrue, says the Works Ministry.

The ministry said concessionaires cannot arbitrarily add on new debts as enshrined in the New Agreement involving the recent restructuring of the four concessionaires.
