KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 18 — The government will maintain toll rates next year on 10 major expressways nationwide to safeguard public welfare and well-being, said Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.
He said the expressways involved are the:
Cheras-Kajang Expressway (Grand Saga)
Kuala Lumpur-Kuala Selangor Expressway (LATAR)
New North Klang Straits Bypass
Senai-Desaru Expressway
East Coast Expressway Phase 2 (LPT2)
South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE)
Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah Bridge
Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway (DUKE)
Maju Expressway (MEX)
Butterworth Outer Ring Road
“This decision is in line with the announcement made by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on July 23 during the Appreciation Announcement for Malaysians, in which the government agreed the public would continue to enjoy existing toll rates without hikes.
“The matter was retrospectively agreed upon at yesterday’s Cabinet meeting to ensure the continuity of the implementation of these toll rates,” he said in a Facebook post today.
Nanta said the move demonstrates the government’s commitment to easing the people’s cost-of-living burden, especially for highway users, by ensuring there is no toll rate hike throughout next year.
He said that although the decision carries significant financial implications, with compensation amounting to RM591.56 million for 2026, the government has chosen to prioritise the people’s interests.
“This allocation reflects the Madani Government’s commitment to safeguarding the people’s well-being and welfare, while ensuring inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
“The Works Ministry will continue to work closely with all stakeholders to ensure the management of the country’s highways remains sustainable, efficient and in line with the Madani Government’s people-first aspirations,” Nanta said.
