PETALING JAYA: The toll concession agreements can now be viewed at the library of the Works Ministry but the public is not allowed to make copies of the documents yet.
Highway Authority of Malaysia director-general Datuk Mohamad Razali Othman said copies can only be made because it needed the Order of the Yang di-Pertuan Agung under Section 3 of the Fees Act (1951) to be tabled in the Dewan Rakyat and gazetted.
Section 3 of the Act states that the Yang di-Pertuan Agung may charge and prescribe fees and payments to be leviable in courts and public offices.
In a statement, Razali said those who wished to view the documents had to fill in a form and were allowed access to the agreements for two hours at a time.
“This is to give a chance to other applicants to view the concession agreements while cutting down the waiting period.
“If they need more time to review agreements of other toll concessionaires or need more time on one document, the applicants need to fill in a new form and wait for their turn again,” he said.
On Oct 17 last year, the Cabinet agreed to declassify the concession agreements and the decision was accepted by all the concessionaires except for Maju Expressway Berhad.
