He acknowledged that while the concession will end on time under the government, there could still be congestion charges at a “very reduced rate” for operational and maintenance reasons, which the government will later seek to absorb if it becomes financially viable.“If the government can afford it, I mean these are only operational costs, then at that time we can then say there will be no toll,” he told reporters in the Parliament lobby today.

Lim had stated in a written reply in the Dewan Rakyat that the Cabinet had agreed in principle to the takeover on Feb 27. The companies are Kesas Sdn Bhd , Sistem Penyuraian Trafik KL Barat Sdn Bhd , Lingkaran Trans Kota Sdn Bhd and Syarikat Mengurus Air Banjir dan Terowong Sdn Bhd .
