They really now "divide" Genting into 2 parts.... the "lower end" and "high end".

Those who want to stay and relax (makan and shopping) would be at the lower end area (Genting Permai & Gohtong Jaya + new developments around it). For those who want gambling and entertainment, they will take the "high end" part (Genting peak + Awana).

Morelikely Genting shareholder pressure them for new revenue. The pandemic bashed them very hard causing their cruiseline business suffer bankrupt and mountain of debts.

Well I hope they charge like RM50 or something like that coz a few bucks won’t prevent “makan angin” ppl from going up clogging the area up top.

Genting must be getting broke. This is just extra revenue with no value add.

GPO is consider lower end? i prefer just go GPO and go cable car if necessary

Looking at where the toll position is, I would say.... yes (to a certain extend). Both GPA and Awana (+ cable car) are after the "toll".

If not mistaken, there would be another "GPO" at the tail end of Genting Permai there to cater for those who don't want to shop at the "high end". But for those who still want go to GPO or Sky Avenue for shopping, there are free(?) shuttle busses to the cable car area.....

It’s confirmed. The pictures from earlier this week showing what appears to toll gantries under construction at Gohtong Jaya are exactly what we think – we will soon have to pay toll to drive up to Genting Highlands.

The confirmation is from Sin Chew Daily, picked up by FMT. The Chinese language daily got the word from a spokesperson for the company that manages the road to Genting Highlands.

Lingkaran Cekap, which is 49.4% owned by Genting, will manage the toll operations, with drivers charged only when heading up the hill resort, and not on the way down – think Penang Bridge. The spokesperson could not confirm when toll collection will start, and the rate. However, she did dismiss the rumour of June 2024 and RM2.50 to RM3, telling Sin Chew that more discussions will be held before an official announcement is made.

If you’re not aware, the road up to Genting Highlands was built by Genting in the mid-1960s and is a private road, which means that the company has the right to impose toll.

“Lingkaran Cekap is in charge of Genting’s roadworks, which include maintaining slopes, landslides, clearing fallen trees, trimming wild grass, maintaining sewage and streetlight systems and, most importantly, maintaining roads,” the spokesperson said, adding that the toll charges will take into account the maintenance work required and the costs involved.

Earlier this week, we shared pictures of a toll plaza under construction shared by Vincent Chow from the Eat Sleep Touge (Chat & Chill) Facebook group. The area in question looks like the tunnel inside the big Gohtong Jaya roundabout, going through to the Batang Kali side perhaps. Another image shows what looks like the side slip road going up to the Gohtong Jaya shop lots.

So, touge kaki, what say you? If you’re going to drive all the way up the hill for pleasure, and a cup of expensive coffee, what’s another few ringgit of toll, right? Or wrong?

why not enter free

but going out have to pay?

You can't - for the simple reason of safety. Putting a toll while going downhill is very dangerous - one vehicle "tak makan brake", and disaster happens. Just see why the Jelapang toll had to be relocated further down the road.

Private road can build toll? Why not every taman, developers build a toll as well?

PH really made all these taxes, tolls & money making from rakyat mistakes. In the end all these coffers, hand given back to opposition
