The minister stated in a written response to Padang Besar MP Rushdan Rusmi's question about the Anwar administration's strategy to eliminate tolled highways that a takeover of the existing highway concessionaires is currently not feasible due to the significant financial implications.

“For the honourable member’s information, the government is committed and focused in its agenda towards addressing rising cost of living and reducing such burdens on the people. However, at this point in time, the government is not planning to take over highway concessionaires who are in operation since the financial implications are high,” the minister wrote in the reply.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">

Toll-free travel along the North-South Motorway (PLUS) was a key point in Pakatan Harapan's 15th general election manifesto. Except for the Perikatan Nasional coalition, the PH coalition is currently part of a unity government that includes the majority of the country's political parties.

This figure covers infrastructure works, system deployment, as well as operational and maintenance expenses.“The projected cost exceeds PPj’s financial capacity as a local authority. As such, there will be no ART implementation in Putrajaya, and there are also no plans to extend the proposed line in future phases,” he said. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21574/16850305/ART-(T).jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16850305" alt="ART-(T).jpg"> Despite the decision, Lo stressed that PPj remains receptive to future public transport initiatives, subject to funding availability and approval of allocations, particularly in line with efforts to raise public transport usage to 70%.Addressing suggestions for alternative funding mechanisms such as public-private partnerships, he said transport-related decisions are guided by detailed assessments that take into account costs, benefits, risks and the government’s current fiscal position.In the meantime, Lo noted that measures are already in place to ease congestion in Putrajaya, including the operation of NadiPutra buses across seven daily routes, alongside water taxi services.

To manage the festive rush, LLM has directed all highway concessionaires to ensure smooth and safe travel throughout the period. From February 12 to February 23, all highway lanes will remain open, with no planned closures except for emergency works. SmartLanes will be activated at 32 locations along the PLUS Expressway to help ease congestion during peak hours. Toll operators have also been instructed to ensure toll collection systems remain fully functional.LLM is advising road users to plan their journeys early by referring to the Travel Time Advisory (TTA) and using the LLM TuJu Highway Navigation App, particularly for the North-South Expressway, KL-Karak Expressway, and LPT1.

Last Saturday, it officially launched “Cherish the Nature”, an 18-month mangrove restoration project along the North-central Selangor Coast (NCSC) at Kuala Selangor Nature Park. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21565/16847619/conversions/Chery_s-PHEV-and-OMODA-JAECOO_s-PHEV-vehicles-were-used-as-support-cars-during-the-event._-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16847619" alt="Chery_s-PHEV-and-OMODA-JAECOO_s-PHEV-vehicles-were-used-as-support-cars-during-the-event._.jpg"> The project is a collaboration with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), with IUCN overseeing the programme and working alongside MNS on the ground.About 200 guests from government agencies, universities, local communities and private companies came to the launch, exploring Kuala Selangor’s mangroves, spotting fireflies and learning about the area’s migratory birds. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21565/16847620/conversions/DSC01090-full_normal.jpg" data-media-id="16847620" alt="DSC01090.jpg" style="width: 50%;"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21565/16847621/conversions/IMG_20260207_111947.jpg-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16847621" alt="IMG_20260207_111947.jpg.jpeg"> Members of the public got involved too. <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2023/10/chery-malaysia-officially-launches-wcwl-owners-club" target="_blank">Chery vehicle owners from the WCWL group</a> and <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2024/08/jaecoo-begins-j7-deliveries-first-j-club-meet-planned-for-sept-7" target="_blank">Omoda | Jaecoo’s J-Club</a> joined citizen science activities and helped plant mangrove saplings - showing that conservation isn’t just a job for scientists; everyone can pitch in.The North-central Selangor Coast stretches roughly 130km, supporting fishing villages, protecting shorelines and providing homes for marine life.

As mangroves vanish, fish stocks fall and coastal communities feel the impact on their livelihoods.“Cherish the Nature” will restore at least six hectares of degraded mangrove areas. IUCN will pinpoint priority sites, while local communities nurture saplings in nurseries before planting them along the coast. Trained community members will care for the trees, and monitoring will track their growth and survival.Education and outreach are just as important. Schools, local communities, government agencies and private partners will all be involved, helping build awareness and a lasting culture of mangrove conservation. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21565/16847623/conversions/Cherish-the-Nature-is-a-collaboration-between-Chery-Corporate-Malaysia,-IUCN-and-MNS-full_normal.jpg" data-media-id="16847623" alt="Cherish-the-Nature-is-a-collaboration-between-Chery-Corporate-Malaysia,-IUCN-and-MNS.jpg" style="width: 50%;"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21565/16847624/conversions/The-event-marks-the-start-of-an-18-month-long-mangrove-restoration-project-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16847624" alt="The-event-marks-the-start-of-an-18-month-long-mangrove-restoration-project.jpg"> The project also ties into Malaysia’s commitments under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, contributing to the global 30x30 target to protect 30% of the world’s land and sea by 2030.By restoring mangroves and empowering communities, Chery Malaysia and its partners are helping strengthen coastal ecosystems and safeguard the livelihoods of those who depend on them - proving that caring for nature is a job everyone can share.
