PETALING JAYA: Toll hikes for major highways have been postponed to 2022 to ease the burden of the people due to the rising cost of living, says Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof. Fadillah said delaying the toll hikes, which were supposed to take effect on Jan 1 this year, will cost the government RM2.25bil. He noted the estimated compensation for the increase of toll rates for Kesas Highway, South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE) and Lebuhraya Pantai Timur 2 (LPT2) will only cost the government RM160.1mil. However, he said the continuation of the postponement of toll rates involving 21 highways and one toll plaza will cost the government RM2.093bil.
