Free toll does not solve festive highway jams – Zahid

Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid recently dropped a truth bomb: free tolls during festive seasons won’t fix Malaysia’s notorious highway congestion. While the idea sounds great, the reality is that it's like putting a Band-Aid on a broken leg. The roads are still packed, and drivers are left crawling at snail speed.

So, what’s the real solution? It’s simple: smarter planning and fewer cars on the road. Speaking of which, why not consider selling that extra car sitting in your driveway?

The Problem with "Free"

Let’s face it, waiving tolls is a short-term crowd-pleaser, but the long-term effects? Not so great. More cars pile onto the highways, making jams worse. Plus, the government burns cash on toll subsidies that could fund better public transport.

If you’re tired of sitting in traffic, maybe it’s time to rethink your ride. Sell your used car and cut down on the chaos.
