Deputy Works Minister Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin said the move to impose the minimum top-up rate for Touch n’ Go cards was proposed by the Malaysian Association of Highway Concession Companies (PSKLM) to overcome congestion in top-up lanes at toll plazas during peak hours.
“The ministry has instructed the concession companies to postpone the proposed initiative and find other ways to overcome congestion at the toll plazas.
“The government is concerned with the burden shouldered by consumers, including those in the B40 category, and is always looking for ways to resolve problems amicably for all quarters,” she said.
She was responding to an oral question from Senator Shahanim Mohamad in the Senate today.
