Motorcyclists still exempt from paying tolls - highway authority

The Malaysian Highway Authority has stressed that there will be no change to the categories of vehicles currently subject to tolls, including the exemption for motorcyclists.

This comes in response to a viral post by the social media account ebidmotor.com yesterday, alleging that motorcyclists would begin paying tolls this October.

The agency confirmed today that the claim is false and warned that such misinformation could unnecessarily alarm motorcyclists and harm the reputation of the government, Works Ministry, the highway authority, and affected highway concessionaires.

“For the public’s information, Plus Malaysia Berhad is currently testing an open toll system using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology.

“If the tests prove successful, the system will be rolled out in stages across highways operated by Plus,” it said, adding it is aimed at improving traffic flow, enhancing user convenience, and reducing congestion at toll plazas.

The agency urged the public, especially highway users, not to believe or spread unverified claims and to rely only on official updates from the relevant authorities.
