Malaysian Association of Highway Concession Companies (PSKLM) vice-president Sazally Said said negotiations on the matter were still ongoing.
“Based on their concession agreements, several highways are eligible to get a toll increase this year.
“However, negotiations between the concession companies and the government are still going on,” he said in a statement here today.
He was commenting on a news report in a local daily which stated that the government would make a final decision in the near future on the increased amount for the toll rates at the eight highways in the country.
The eight highways are Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan (Plus), Link Kedua Malaysia-Singapura, Lebuhraya Shah Alam (Kesas), Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan Hubungan Tengah (Elite), Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP), Butterworth-Kulim Expressway (BKE), Lebuhraya Seremban-Port Dickson (SPDH) and Lebuhraya Pintas Selat Kelang Utara Baru (NNKSB).
