KUALA LUMPUR: The implementation of the Multi-Lane Fast Flow (MLFF) system will not be rushed as the parties involved have been given more time to work out the details, says Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.
The Works Minister said the parties involved had been given a timeline, with several platforms already being considered, although the details remained under negotiation.
“We have given them a timeline. They just need a little bit more time and there are platforms that they have already also thought out.
“I do not want to reveal for the time being because it is still under negotiation, but it will be made known to the public,” he said during a press conference after the opening ceremony of the MyAsean Road and Traffic Tech Expo (MYARTTE) 2026 on Wednesday (Sept 30).
Nanta said the implementation was being carried out under a business-to-business (B2B) model, with highway concessionaires and other interested parties working together on the system.
“We did not (want) to do this in a rush, and all these years and months have been used to ensure that those parties who are coming together as we allow it on a B2B model.
“Meaning to say, people interested in implementing this, if they want, they must talk among themselves, especially the concessionaires.
“This is because the concessionaires are the ones who own these, their assets, the highways," he said.
The MLFF system in Malaysia is a barrier-free and seamless toll payment system designed to improve traffic flow.
It was reported that the project would adopt a B2B approach, with concessionaires appointing service providers to implement the system without imposing financial implications on the government.
Based on reports, the system will be implemented in stages, beginning with the Single Lane Fast Flow (SLFF) system in 2027, following the finalisation of the necessary amendments to the relevant Acts and legislation.
