BALAKONG POLLS

| Pontian MP Ahmad Maslan has urged voters who are unhappy with Pakatan Harapan’s failure to abolish tolls set up during BN’s administration to not pay toll charges.

“They said they want to stop toll collection. Did they? I hope there are those among us who are brave. Ram through the tollgate. Anywhere. Drive through the boom barrier.

“(However) if you are arrested, don’t look for me. You have to answer it,” Ahmad told a Malay crowd of approximately 50 at an MCA ceramah in Desa Baiduri Awam last night.

“How will you do it? You have to figure that out. If anything happens, you might be arrested and brought to court.”

He said DAP publicity chief Tony Pua’s promise to remove tolled highways was well-documented, but the new Harapan administration has not implemented the move.

“I asked the new works minister, Baru Bian, in Parliament to tell us when the toll collection will stop. His reply was that it would cost RM400 billion, and we could not afford it.

“Then why did you (Harapan) make such a promise? They lied to all Malaysians,” he claimed at the election campaign trail.

Therefore, Ahmad urged Balakong voters to reject Harapan’s candidate.
