00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:05Next week is the New Year.
00:07Minister of Industry Alessandra said yesterday that during the holiday,
00:11the highway will no longer exempt road tolls, causing a round of controversy.
00:14Regarding the government's decision, Deputy Prime Minister Amodjasi first jumped out and shouted
00:18that during the holiday, the exemption of road tolls cannot effectively solve the problem of traffic congestion on the toll road.
00:25He pointed out that road users can no longer treat discounts or exempt road tolls as a gift from the government to the people,
00:31but should change the original driving method and plan the trip when the holiday comes.
00:37However, Amodjasi's response did not buy Lin Guanyin.
00:41He explained that if the government does not exempt road tolls during the holiday,
00:44drivers will have to line up to pay for road tolls, which will cause traffic congestion.
00:50Therefore, Lin Guanyin urged the government to consider carefully
00:53to send a New Year's surprise red envelope to the people during the lunar new year.
00:57Even if there is no exemption of road tolls for four days,
01:00it should at least consider giving one day of free travel to allow road users to go home for the New Year.
01:05On the other hand, the chairman of the Democratic Party, Liu Huacai, also fired up today,
01:08and issued a warning to the leader of Ximeng, Car Cannon.
01:11Before the election, he once shouted,
01:13go north and south once, no more road tolls,
01:16shouting to abolish the toll station.
01:18But now, not only did he not fulfill his promise,
01:20but also abolished the discount on road tolls.
01:24That's a lie.
01:26At the same time, he also shouted to Alessandra,
01:28another week is the lunar new year.
01:30Does the government really have the ability to implement the targeted measures within a week?
01:35For the dispute between the two sides,
01:37the spokesman for the United Government, Fahmi,
01:39came forward to put out the fire today.
01:41He said that stopping the exemption of road tolls was a decision made before,
01:44not the final decision.
01:46The cabinet will discuss more effectively and more targeted ways to help the people
01:49at the upcoming meeting on Friday.
01:53As for whether or not to exempt road tolls,
01:55will also be decided at the meeting.
01:57And Nanbei Road Company also responded to the issue of road tolls today.
02:02As a concession company,
02:04we accept decisions from the Ministry of Labor
02:09in terms of tolls during the holiday season.
02:12We will accept whatever decision is made by the government.
02:17Whether or not to exempt road tolls is decided by the government.
02:20Nanbei Road Company CEO Nie Alina
02:22said at a press conference today
02:24that as a road concession company,
02:27Nanbei Road will act according to the government's decision.
02:30At the same time, she pointed out
02:31that the new year's rush hour is expected to cause heavy traffic jams.
02:35The traffic flow of Nanbei Road will be 18% higher than usual,
02:38up to 2.2 million vehicles.
02:40Therefore, she urged road users
02:42to use the MyPlus TTA mobile app to plan their trip
02:46to avoid using the highway in busy times.
02:49The function of MyPlus TTA
02:52is to provide information to users
02:55so that they can choose when to start their journey.
03:00To ensure that people can travel safely during the new year,
03:04Nanbei Road Company has prepared a large number of people
03:06to prepare for various emergencies.
