KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 19): Singapore may cancel its plan to impose reciprocal road charge (RRC) of S$6.40 on all foreign-registered cars entering the island state, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai. He said Malaysia plans to impose a road charge at other border entry points with Thailand, Brunei and Indonesia. "The RRC mirrors Malaysia's road charge of RM20 (S$6.40) per entry for non-Malaysia-registered cars entering Johor, which was implemented on Nov 1, 2016," LTA was quoted as saying. The joint statement serves to affirm both parties' commitment to strengthen their cooperation in the field of land public transport. Both parties also declare their intention to cooperate in the area of land public transport in the fields of regulation, policies, planning, economic models, technologies, training and operations.
