No response from concessionaires on new highway conditions in S'gor - Azmin

The Selangor government has yet to receive any replies from concession companies on the conditions to build new highways in the state recently.

Selangor Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali said there were no written response or feedback from concession companies involved and the state government could not give any further comments on the conditions' acceptance.

"We have announced in the budget and in our meeting with the Malaysia Highway Authority (LLM). This is the stand of the state government on any highway development in Selangor," he told reporters after opening the Perangsang-SkimSel Entrepreneur Carnival here Saturday.

The three conditions set by the Selangor government for highway construction included making the entire agreement signed by the concession company public, stating the toll rate, proposed rate hike as well as rate of returns accrued.

Apart from that, the concession companies needed to provide the traffic impact evaluation for new highways to ensure it is beneficial to users and residents in the areas.
