Deputy PM Najib promised that there will be no toll increases next year, at least not until the Cabinet had discussed the matter.
“Why do you speculate? Wait until the Cabinet decides,” Najib told reporters when questioned on the toll increase that was announced by Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu on Sunday.
But, DPM, we didn't speculate! It's Samy's statement that was published by NST. Why blame us? We are facing anxieties, you know?

just like chipsmore rite, now u c, now u don't, maybe najib try to protect the news by our beloved samy vellu statement to increase the toll, get used to it about increament except our pay. election coming, stocks price keep on booming, at least no major increament until the next upcoming general election.

Samy was told to announce..then najib save the day..konon nya..the govt cares..
just you wait..malaysians...after the elections if you return BN to power..they will jack up prices and their reasoning..."the people have voted and given us the mandate to decide what is best... and we raise prices for the good of the nation"
dis sami want to build another palace in india. that y he insist on another toll hike to finance it...
dis indian barger worst than a snake.
f**k him & may he rot in a thousand camels sh*t.
This may be a good guy / bad guy wayang but at the end of the day, if the toll concession agreement (and variations thereof) have a toll increase agreed upon by contract, the Cabinet cannot halt such increase unless there is compensation.
Compensation can come in the form of subsidy to the toll concessionaire (govt funds = tax payers money) or extending the concession. Either way, the rakyat suffers.
Solution ? Nationalise the toll roads and pay off the concessionaires with a one time payment. After that, the toll rates (if any) are totally in govt control and not in private interest hands. To recover the cost, the govt can levy a low toll rate in perpetuity as the roads still have to be maintained.
You've got toll increase. You don't. You've got toll increase. You don't. You've .....
You've got the General Elections!
(You've got toll increase, later. You've petrol price increase, later. You've got cooking gas price increase, later. You've got cab fare price increase, later. You've got....)
Samy is showing his "finger" (not Middle finger?) to Najib or the the road users regarding the toll increase??
