As early as January 2020, Najib had already realized that Pakatan Harapan’s strategy was never about abolishing tolls as promised - but rather to quietly extend toll concessions across the board. In fact, Najib was even “kind enough” to point out and correct their manifesto at the time (left image). Najib understood that: - Toll agreements are binding and allow toll rate increases - The cost of compensating concessionaires to cancel agreements is extremely high = National debt under the post-BN government would surge because they reinstated blanket fuel subsidies and abolished GST - The government after Najib would not dare to raise toll rates as stipulated in the contracts - The post-BN government would not be able to afford paying yearly compensation to freeze toll hikes, something Najib’s administration had consistently done - PH had no shame in breaking promises and would simply find excuses or stay silent when they failed to deliver This meant the government after Najib had only one option left: to quietly extend all toll concessions without announcing it to the people, fearing public backlash. Najib had warned us long ago, but we ignored it. Today, his predictions have proven to be true: PLUS – extended 30 years to 2068 LEKAS – extended 25 years to 2064 Sungai Besi (BESRAYA) – extended 6 years to 2046 KL-Karak – extended 37 years to 2069 LPT1 – extended 37 years to 2069 LDP – extended 8 years to 2038 KESAS – extended 10 years to 2038 SPRINT – extended 7 years to 2038 NPE – extended 27 years to 2057
