Government to amend three laws next year for rollout of MLFF toll system in Malaysia, says works ministry

Amendments to three laws are expected to be tabled in parliament next year to pave the way for the multi-lane fast flow (MLFF) toll collection system. According to deputy works minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan, the three laws due to be amended are the Federal Roads Act 1959, the Road Transport Act 1987 and the Malaysian Highway Authority (Incorporation) Act 1980.

As reported by The Edge, the amendments will address the enforcement for non-payment of tolls, including determining which authority will be empowered to act under the revised legal framework. Ahmad Maslan revealed that the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) will most likely be tasked with enforcement under the amended laws next year.

This came in response to a question by Zahir Hassan (PH-Wangsa Maju), who had asked about the government’s timeline for MLFF implementation by the 33 highway concessionaires. Ahmad Maslan reiterated that MLFF will be implemented on a business-to-business basis without involving government funding, as part of efforts to eliminate travel barriers and bottlenecks across highways.

Touch ‘n Go recently showcased its Titan Flow MLFF system that combines RFID (radio frequency identification), ANPR (automatic number plate recognition), LiDAR and artificial intelligence technologies to enable barrier-less toll collection. Meanwhile, PLUS Malaysia has already begun a pilot project to test its MLFF system using ANPR technology.

On PLUS’ system, Ahmad Maslan noted that LLM has outlined several evaluation parameters for the public pilot test, including ensuring the ANPR system can accurately detect and identify vehicle number plates so that toll charges are imposed correctly. The system must also deliver faster transaction speeds compared to existing payment methods and guarantee data security and transparency in line with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) 2010.

    Maybe this is how our government finally fulfilled their promise of abolishing toll. With weak enforcement nobody will care to pay. So many vehicles without road tax + insurance and drivers without valid license also didn’t get caught. Now they ask us to trust them to catch those that avoid paying toll. Laughable.
