quite considerate already. lose all money still can go home

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).

For the next trip to Genting...i plan to get a jackpot and stay there forever...

Oh coming down trip is free? O wai....
come down and stay at Bentong for retirement la...

What’s the justification for this? To reduce number of vehicle up top?

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?

Go GPO and cable car there need to pay or not?

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

the taman roads were handed over to badaraya/majlis for maintenance. this one is maintained by Genting.

Just an excuse to make more money. Had enough of this really.

If we are at Singapore level's economy and income, no issue. But we are not and far from it.

they built and maintained the road but now got other developer come in and use the road. Do you know how much is the infra cost on the total development? they want to make money and not charity.

Taman road are public road

Taman roads all belong to government lah, the developer build then handover to government even the street light, longkang, trees and playground is gov manage punya, it doesn't belong to you or the developer. Maintenance all u can complain to majlis, those ppl come cut grass is majlis punya. Genting is a different case, they own the bloody hill and the road is owned and maintained by themselves.

Inb4 semua salah PH DAP

Excuses to suck the rakyat dry. Charge the developers then.

The road is free to use since Genting's inception.

Say what you want.

you are too young to understand, read more.

Got taman where the whole place is private, such as gated & guarded ones.

to reduce visitors to the top. too many ppl dah

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

their cruise bankrupt already? sure or not?

why not enter free

but going out have to pay?

Yes ur right, got 2 types,

Strata gated guarded
Non-strata gated and guarded

Strata one the road and all facility is owned by the joint management body (JMB) and everyone there is forced to pay "maintenance fee" and usually "sinking fund" to maintain the roads and other facility. This one majlis no care and you also don't own the road, your porch, your house facade also you don't own it u can't even paint or renovate the exterior of your house. But you paid your "toll" every month for them to maintain the road and facility.

The non-strata one is just the security guard, you pay "protection money" to the security guard/company for your security. However, the road drain lamps grass all still belongs to the majlis, infact to set up a gated guarded, need permission from majlis because it's majlis road and land. Infact, it's still a public road and they cannot stop people from entering, the guard is just there to well guard lol

About that last part..I know they can’t build permanent guard post but there is a section at SS8 near the former roundabout coming from Tmn Megan & now became the most confusing intersection ever….phew I hope you know where I’m talking about….where they built permanent guard structure & block off some access roads. In fact, there are many of these examples in PJ where they’ll just fence off a few sections where it used to be public access.

Can we lipot to majlis? Or songlap liao?

Maybe just maybe if they lower the admission charges to their theme parks, lower the odds for games in their casinos or submit themselves to independent scrutiny to check on the “fairness” of all their gambling games (like in US via Gaming Commission), then perhaps their business could improve.

You have a strange definition of improving business..Reducing profit to increase revenue? LOL
Every company out there will gladly reduce their revenue if they can profit more. That's why all property developers nowadays only make "high end" properties.
Rich people don't become rich by giving money away.

I think it was done under communities approval for more secure living environments act like strata land function.

Yes you can report and remove it but then you'll lose safety measure which everybody going in and out will bypass security pos.

That’s not the point isn’t it? Gazetted as public roads it remains as public roads. You can’t just block off some section because of “safety”. At least they don’t seem to care about safety because I’ve seen some where the fire truck will have difficulty getting in to save their asses. If everybody can just seal off access what’s stopping me from doing the same too perhaps by blocking half the road in front of my house for “security purpose”?
