00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpot website.
00:30It has become a big news, and it has become a big news that has been going on for many days.
00:35It is so noisy that even the Prime Minister and Finance Minister Anhua, who are on a business trip to Europe,
00:39have to spread the word to explain to everyone in Malaysia
00:44why the government decided to cancel the process of paying the toll free of charge this year.
00:50Prime Minister Anhua, who is attending the 2025 World Economic Forum in Davos,
00:55told the media in Davos that the government is currently working on a more targeted approach
01:00to pay the toll free of charge,
01:04so that it can be adjusted and supplemented in the same way as before,
01:08which is to focus on the needy groups who live far away in B40 and M40, not everyone.
01:14Because many people have already started to question
01:16why luxury cars such as Los Reyes and Mercedes can also enjoy the toll free of charge.
01:23Although Prime Minister Anhua has already said that the government is currently discussing
01:28a more targeted approach to pay the toll free of charge,
01:32when Deputy Minister Amo Maslan of the Ministry of Industry and Industry
01:36was interviewed by the media today, he told the media that
01:39the government's decision to pay the toll free of charge during the cancellation of the holiday
01:43may be reversed.
01:45Because the relevant announcement, he said, was made last year by the cabinet,
01:50so he urged everyone to wait for the official announcement on the 24th of tomorrow.
01:56But why wait until tomorrow? Can't it be announced today?
01:59Amo Maslan explained,
02:00that is because the general cabinet meeting is held every Wednesday,
02:04but because Prime Minister Anhua just returned from Switzerland today,
02:08so the cabinet meeting before the lunar new year will be held tomorrow.
02:13Deputy Minister Amo Maslan, who did not attend the cabinet meeting,
02:17although he made an announcement that the cabinet meeting tomorrow may be reversed,
02:22Deputy Minister Anhua of the Ministry of Industry and Industry, who will attend the cabinet meeting tomorrow,
02:27once again stated today that the topic of paying the toll free of charge during the holiday
02:31will not be mentioned in the cabinet meeting for the time being.
02:34He emphasized that the government needs to adjust the relevant details,
02:37to ensure that only people who are truly qualified can enjoy this advantage.
02:42He also said that if the government does not implement measures to pay toll free of charge during the holiday,
02:46the national treasury can save about 1.9 billion yuan in a year.
02:51Anyway, will the measures to pay toll free of charge during the holiday be finalized?
02:57Now the Minister of Industry and Industry has a different statement from his deputy minister.
03:01Let's wait patiently and see if there is anything to announce tomorrow.
03:05However, Minister of Industry Alessandra made another announcement today,
03:10that is, Touch&Go e-wallet officially launched the function of SOS Balance Payment today,
03:17so that those who have insufficient balance can pay the bill for the time being,
03:21to avoid traffic jams caused by insufficient balance users getting stuck in the traffic jams on the main road.
03:28Minister of Industry Alessandra said at the recommendation ceremony today that
03:31the SOS Balance Payment function allows users to pay up to 80 cents in one day.
03:38These overdue payments must be repaid within 24 hours.
03:42If you do not pay within 24 hours,
03:44you will be prohibited from using Touch&Go e-wallet payment and shopping until the overdue transfer fee has been paid.
03:52The SOS Balance function currently only allows some users to use it.
03:57Among them, Touch&Go stipulates that users must pay on time,
04:01recharge their e-wallet on time,
04:03and actively use Touch&Go e-wallet in order to qualify.
04:08In order to alleviate the traffic jams on the main road during the Lunar New Year,
04:11in addition to Touch&Go, they also launched the SOS Balance Payment function.
04:14South and North Main Road Company Plus also announced that
04:17from tomorrow to February 3, in addition to major repairs and emergency situations,
04:21no roads can be closed.
04:24In addition, hot spots for 25 traffic jams on the South and North Main Roads will also be launched.
04:28Smart Lane will also be launched.
04:31It will improve traffic management at toll stations and intersections,
04:34launch reverse lanes, and add SmartTag toll booths.
