The DAP today praised the government for abolishing toll collection at two toll booths in Kuala Lumpur, and also for its move to declassify most of the highway toll concession agreements.



Selangor DAP deputy chairman Tony Pua, who is also Petaling Jaya Utara Member of Parliament, said: "The DAP would like to congratulate the Works Minister (Datuk Seri Mohd Zin Mohamed) on his efforts to declassify (the agreements) and remove toll collections at two toll plazas in the past two weeks."

He was responding to Mohd Zin's announcement that toll collection at the Salak Jaya toll plaza on the Sungai Besi Highway (Besraya) here would cease from yesterday afternoon.

On Feb 13 collection at the Petaling Jaya Selatan 2 (PJS 2) toll plaza heading towards Kuala Lumpur on the New Pantai Expressway (NPE) was abolished.

Pua said the government should also review the need to abolish other toll collections such as that at the North-South expressway and Butterworth-Kulim expressway by 2016.
