Subsidy mentality has to go

IT has been reported that the government has commenced talks with Gamuda Bhd to negotiate the acquisition of four tolled highways in which this company has a majority stake. Upon acquiring the highways, the government would then reduce the toll rate by 30% during peak hours and to zero during off-peak hours (11pm to 5am).

This is the first step towards fulfilling the Pakatan Harapan election pledge to abolish toll charges.
