permanent residents can opt for a rate 10 per cent lower than the standard road charge, or apply for a six-month season pass which entitles holders to unlimited entries into Genting Highlands through

Genting Malaysia Berhad, provides access to popular tourist hotspots including Resorts World Genting and other hotel resorts not under Genting Malaysia\u2019s properties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Genting Highlands is located some 60km away from the Kuala Lumpur city centre.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The fee structure was first announced on Nov 13 last year, when Genting Malaysia Berhad said it will soon charge vehicles entering the hill, though details were not provided then.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The company had said the charge was necessary due to steep and escalating costs of maintaining the road and its slopes, which it had paid for since the 1960s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>&#8220;Heavy usage on Jalan Genting Highlands has caused a tremendous amount of wear and tear, and requires constant maintenance to ensure the safety of the road users,&#8221; Genting Malaysia Berhad said in a statement\u00a0<\/span>then,<span> adding that the private road charge is the most sustainable way to defray upkeep costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Deputy Works Minister Ahmad Maslan said later on Nov 17 that any\u00a0<\/span>charges<span> to Genting Highlands should not penalise local residents, workers or those using the route daily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>&#8220;In our view, tolls should not be applied to daily users such as local workers or residents, nor to those using the road for social purposes,&#8221; he\u00a0<\/span>had<span> said in parliament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Ahmad added that excessively high fees could discourage tourists and affect visitor numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>&#8220;If the charges are too high, the number of visitors may decline. Other tourist destinations do not impose such fees, so these factors must be considered.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>He added that the charges should be called vehicle charges and not tolls, as they are levied on users of a private road, and should not be confused with\u00a033 toll concessions currently operating on highways in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"referenced-card\">\n<h4 class=\"h4
