PETALING JAYA: The Works Ministry will appoint an independent audit consultant next month to analyse data and make recommendations on how to reduce the people's burden in paying tolls, says Baru Bian (pic). The Works Minister said that this follows the government's decision to freeze toll hikes on all 21 highways, which are eligible for an increase in 2019. "The consultant will submit proposals to the government for the best mechanism to reduce toll fees in the short, medium and long term. "The postponement of toll hikes is an ongoing measure to check the rising cost of living. "The government is always striving to reduce the toll burden of motorists.
