中央取消免大道过路费林冠英促重新考虑

峇眼区国会议员兼亚逸布爹区州议员林冠英说，希望中央政府能过重新考虑取消免大道过路费的政策，给人民一个“惊喜红包”，对政府留下好印象。 “副首相阿末扎希表示豁免大道收费并不能解决大道拥堵的问题，但其实佳节期间豁免大道收费主要也不是为了解决交通堵塞的问题，这说法并不成立。” “反之，驾驶者需要排队支付过路费，这反而会导致大道更加拥堵。” 他说，过去政府在每个佳节包括开斋节、屠妖节等都豁免大道过路费，主要是给人民一个“惊喜”，好像佳节期间的大红包。 “无论大道收费与否，大家依然还是会回乡过年，所以大道依然还是会塞车。” 他希望，中央政府不要给人民一种福利被收回的感觉，而是希望人民在佳节期间感到开心，对政府留下好印象。 “即使无法提供4天的免过路费，至少应该考虑给予1天的免费通行，在农历新年期间为半岛人民送上一份新年“惊喜红包”。【拨款予诚扬文化协会购买祥龙】当天，林冠英也移交5000令吉给予诚扬文化协会用于购买一只舞龙，支持该协会的文化表演活动。
