Works Minister Datuk Mohd Zin Mohamed said this was part of the review on highway concessions aimed at lowering toll rates.

Three cheers to Works Minister Datuk Mohd Zin Mohamed, Finally we have a minister who has studied the concession a agreement and told us, the toll payers, this provision in the agreement.
