[Admin] Kluang MP Liew Chin Tong said the hike was a heavy blow to Malaysians who commute daily to the island republic for work. All these hardships are imposed because the cronies have to be paid for the highway and other projects they built. It is totally unacceptable, he said. He said that a motorist currently paying RM2.90 one way would have to pay RM16.50 when the new toll comes into effect on August 1, and this would mean more people would use motorbikes instead of cars. Their options are either to pay more, car pool or use motorbikes instead of cars, and all these options come with greater difficulties. For instance, more people on motorbikes means more road accidents and deaths, Liew added. The move to revise the toll rate at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex in Johor Baru comes on the heels of Putrajaya’s plans to introduce a Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) fee for all foreign vehicles entering Johor.
