The cabinet has decided to freeze all toll rate hikes for all vehicle classes on 21 highways across the country that are eligible for an increase in 2019, announced Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng.

In a statement today, he said the decision made by the cabinet on Dec 12, will incur the government an estimate RM972.75 million in compensation to toll operators.

This is an addition to the earlier announcement on the tabling of 2019 Budget where Lim announced that only toll hikes for intra-city highways would be frozen.
