SINGAPORE: Singapore will match Malaysia's RM20 (S$6.50) road charge, which was rolled out on Nov 1 last year, Channel NewsAsia reported today. Quoting Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan, who spoke in Parliament, the report said Malaysia collected about RM13.9 million in road charges from Singapore vehicles between Nov 1 and Dec 20 last year. "We have a long-standing policy of matching any levy, toll or fee charged by Malaysia for using the road links between Singapore and Malaysia," Khaw was quoted as saying. On Nov 1, 2016, the road charge became applicable and has been collected via the Touch n' Go card each time motorists enter Malaysia. The road charge system was activated at the two land entry points in Johor - the Causeway and the Second Link.
