Actually, puchongites, there is a way round the toll. Through the Jalan Puchong Lama/Old Klang Road. It is a longer journey (possible jam) but you work out the cost (time,petrol,toll) see if it is cheaper to your destination.Usually I will take the route to MidValley,Bangsar,KL.

BTW,Notice that 10 years ago, freshgrads were paid the same. With InflationRate of 3.5%p.a.(BLR),that means our current RM2K start is equi to RM1300 in 1996(rough estm.). With stagnant pay, we will never SURVIVE.

Also, punchongites should also gets frustrated with the morning JAM. It is like we are queueing to pay the useless highway that is supposed to get us through quicker.So much for NOT-ENOUGH-REVENUE for LITRAK.
This is also an issue of efficiency/productivity, on average I had to use 1.5hrs commute to work.In other words, I only have 22.5hrs in aday.;)Imagine extra 1.5hrs in the bed…

Foreseeing this situation, I have been forced to explore opportunities elsewhere.
You can take it that the government is forcing talents out.

[...] Recently, Works Minister, Datuk Seri Samy Vellu announced that toll prices for 5 major highways in Malaysia will go up in 2007 as the government cannot afford toll subsidies anymore. The toll rates will increase in between RM0.30 to RM1. [...]

Wuching, be fair to Malaysians. You can’t compare a single item to what Malaysians have in Malaysia. That is totally unfair to Malaysians.

If you want to compare; then compare everything you can get in Melbourne. I wish you can have your eyes opened since you are abroad.

I’m abroad also but we don’t pay toll here while we are driving in highway. So, how? Besides, the public transport systems here are great. You can reach any where in time, I reapet in time. Well, possible in Malaysia? Malaysians are suffer for high living costs nowadays especially those lower-income groups. Don’t you think high crime rates now in Malaysia are closely related to these kinds of problems?

I sincerely wish you can look, think, disgest the statement before you make any comment.

Wuching you silly, does Melbourne has tolls all around the city? Melbourne definately cannot fight Malaysia for the amount of toll we have in the Klang Valley itself. In Malaysia you have no choice but to use the highway to go to work, is it the same in Melboune? You make my blood boiled making such comment, guess you’re one of those spoil brat studying in overseas and donno how hard is life for the average Malaysian. Do you know how much we suffer due to petrol hike, water tariff hike, electricity tariff hike? Grow up pls.

Wuching,
Compared to Malaysia, your Salaries are so damned high. Is it Aussie 12 per hour for professionals?
This is Samy Vellu & his gang are practising Robin Hood’s reversd nobility – Robbing the marginaled affordable (with cars) to help the super rich cronies with this easy toll extortion.
