As we are all aware....the toll gate collection can be up to millions or was it billions of Ringgit a year. And yet, the toll rate still increase time to time. And we have to bare all of this while our income is at a stagnant level..shit!! It is ridiculous to increase the rate when everyday the number of cars passing by is so many. Last time, I've received and email on how this toll gate attendant kept the collection money to themselves as an additional income to their salary. And this normally applies to toll without tickets..the ones..where you pay as you go through. I myself will have to pay RM3.20 everyday just to commute from home to office a day. At first I was a bit sceptical...but after a few incidents and observation..I find that this whole fraud thing might be true. So..here are my theories:-
- Sometimes...the toll bar is always up. This indicates that, it doesn't matter if you pay the toll or not....the bar can be lifted up with a push of a button. So, this means..the toll attendant can take our money..and simply push the button to lift the bar up without having to record the collection. Except for maybe if we asked for a receipt.
- OK..so I asked for receipt..but there was one time where the toll attendant gave a me a receipt for a taxi which was half the value of the amount I've paid for. So this means..he recycled the receipt.
- One time, I have ran out of small change and there was only a RM50 note that I withdraw earlier. After searching high and low for coins....I can only come out with 65 sen. So as I stopped at the RM1.60 toll.....
Me: (while giving him the note to pay) Sorry I don't have any small change
Attendant: Sorry I don't have any small change to give back to you.
(Isn't that peculiar??..hmmmmm??)
Me: But I only have 65 sen worth of coins
Attendant: It's ok. You can just pass through
Me: Are you sure??
Attendant: Yes..just pass through
Me: Really?? Here is the 65 sen. TQ
So either he is such a kind man who paid for me for the toll he is supposed to collect...or there are no way of actually tracing the amount of collection made. Which one do you think??
As for me, the easiest way to make sure our toll payment goes directly to the toll concession company is by using Touch N Go or SmartTag at these tolls. There you go, you be the judge...and take action for yourself.
