Rate of Increase for Highway Tolls

After first blogging about it on 16 Oct 2006 upon hearing from trusted sources, I also did blog again on 27 Nov 2006 that the government has finally admitted that they will increase the toll rates effective 1 Jan 2007. Today, Malaysian newspapers finally came out with the rates effective 1 Jan 2007 as below.

Nevertheless, this drastic increase will definitely put cause a high increase in cost of living to all people living in the Klang Valley. The Malaysian newspapers have been directed to tone down on the reporting of the toll hike so as not to incur the public wrath.

Recent months, the water and electricity authorities have increased their rates too. What next?
