The Malaysian government said that it will review the toll hike at Johor's main border checkpoint after the sharp increase attracted an uproar by commuters.
The Straits Times reported that Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister, Muhyiddin Yassin, said the government is looking into other possibilities for commuters that enter Johor Baru and Singapore daily to avoid burdening local motorists.
The announcement came last Friday that commuters travelling between Singapore and Johor Baru have to pay an increase of more than 500 percent in toll fees starting from 1st August.
Malaysian and foreign-registered cars will have to pay RM16.50 (S$6.50) for a two-way trip - RM9.70 when they enter and RM6.50 when they leave Johor Baru. Currently, motorists only have to pay a one-way charge of RM2.90 when they enter Johor Baru.
