He said this was unlike Pakatan Harapan (PH), which had pledged in its manifesto for the last general election (GE14) to abolish all tolls but did nothing when it won at the polls and took over Putrajaya.

In an interview at the Selangor BN convention, Noh said the people needed to be reminded of such broken promises by the opposition coalition.

“We have to bring up what we fought for, and the things that benefited the people.”

Noh said toll collection at the Batu Tiga and Sungai Rasau plazas was abolished on Jan 1, 2018, when BN was in power under then prime minister Najib Razak.

Toll collection at Bukit Kayu Hitam in Kedah and the Eastern Dispersal Link (EDL) in Johor also ceased when BN held Putrajaya.

In 2020, the then PH government implemented an 18% reduction in the toll for the North-South Expressway (PLUS), a move that the coalition said was in line with its manifesto, which said toll collection would be abolished in stages.

Following the announcement, Johor DAP chairman Liew Chin Tong reportedly said that the reduction was part of a two-step election promise that would eventually lead to tolls being abolished altogether.
