LLB Stands Firm On Toll Decision
BUTTERWORTH, Aug 22 (Bernama) -- Syarikat Lebuhraya Lingkaran Luar Butterworth (LLB) Sdn Bhd is sticking to its decision to collect toll along the Sungai Nyior highway here from next month despite public protest.
Its operations general manager, Suhaimi Jusof said the toll collection which was postponed for almost seven months would start from 12.01am on Sept 1.
He added the reduction of toll rate including from 90 sen to 50 sen for class 1 vehicles was reasonable.
"We are aware of the complaints but we will proceed with the toll collection," he told reporters here today.
On the move by several residents associations who planned to boycott the highway on the first day and had collected some 8,000 signatures to be submitted to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi,he said the public should understand the company had spent about RM5 million to maintain the highway for the past nine years.
