Toll fare increase?
When Malaysian heard about “Toll fare increase“, definitely will feel scare. Malaysian live in the country with a lot of burden, we are encountering price increase every year. But not all the Malaysian will get salary increment every year. If we take inflation in account, we are earning lesser year by year.
So, what do you think when you see the title in this post?
It is say about the concessionaire (KLBK Sdn Bhd) of the Butterworth-Kulim Expressway has submitted request to increase the toll rates. This highway operates since 1996, based on the contract with the government, they are allowed to revise (read: increase) the toll rates every THREE years!
Refer to the contract; this agreement would be effective from 1996 till 2026. The toll rates have been reviewed three times since 1996. If the government approved this proposal, the new toll rate is going to take effective on January, 2008.
Perhaps KL people won’t feel its pain, but do you think we would be so lucky to avoid the price increase in other tolls? I doubt it~!
