I wonder how many people will stay right up till mid night or waking up early so that they could exist the highway before 7am just to enjoy the 10% offer given by PLUS. This is the lousiest offer I have ever come across for years. I suppose PLUS is doing it half heartedly for the sake of their corporate social responsibility where not many people will benefit from it. Only Mat Rempit stand to benefit from this offer as they are nocturnal who are active at night as opposed to the diurnal human lifestyle. But then again, Mat Rempit will not normally pay tolls.
PLUS said that mid-night till 7am is the off-peak hours. Of course it is off-peak as most of us will be asleep during that periods. And I wonder how effective is this programme to distribute traffic volume so as to improve traffic flow. The Work Minister hailed PLUS for its " historic move", as he thought that it would bring relief to millions of highway users. Historic offer indeed, but the lousiest one. And our Work Minister is anticipating people will wake up early to enjoy the sickening 10% discount and start to work longer hours to increase productivity. Good luck, Malaysians, me included.
