Works Ministry to address toll collection concerns in Multi-Lane Fast Flow system

Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi says highway concessionaires still have absolute right to collect tolls

KUALA LUMPUR – Concerns about the implementation of the Multi-Lane Fast Flow (MLFF) or barrier-free toll payment system on highways will be examined, Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said.

He acknowledged issues raised in media reports about the proposed MLFF and said further study will be done, including on the legal aspects, to ensure the system is implemented smoothly.

Nanta added that approval for the MLFF was given in principle by the previous government, but this approval only applied to the negotiation process between parties involved.

“Although planning and initial approval processes have started since 2021, as the current works minister, I am aware of the need for some research and improvement actions to be carried out, especially involving legal aspects, to ensure that this MLFF can run smoothly and benefit the people,” he said on Facebook.

“Currently, the highway concessionaire still holds the absolute right to collect tolls as per the concession agreement, which is still in force,” he added.

While Nanta did not specify the concerns raised in media reports, his mention of toll collection rights by high concessionaires appears to be in response to a media report that the government had signed an “appointment agreement” with a private company to manage the MLFF for all highways nationwide.

Free Malaysia Today, citing sources, said the company was linked to YTL Corporation Bhd, and its appointment was done without consulting highway concessionaires.

Highway concessionaires have reportedly sent a protest letter to the Works Ministry over a violation of their rights to collect tolls.

Nanta, in his statement, did not confirm or deny these alleged developments.

The MLFF is said to cost RM3.46 billion, with the barrier-free toll collection concept aimed at reducing traffic congestion. – December 7, 2023
