THE launch of the radio frequency identification (RFID) payment system at all toll plazas on PLUS Malaysia Berhad (PLUS) highways and East Coast Highway 2 (LPT2), scheduled for April 1, has been deferred to a new date after the movement control order is lifted (MCO).

In a statement today, PLUS managing director Azman Ismail said all testing and progressive work have also been halted in line while the MCO is in effect to ensure the health and safety of PLUS employees and highway users.

“All work to fully complete the RFID readiness on PLUS-operated highways will resume once the MCO is lifted.

“At PLUS, we believe the MCO is an important move to protect the health, safety, and the wellbeing of all Malaysians from the threat of Covid-19,” he said.

The launch of the RFID will involve 83 closed system toll plazas on PLUS highways and 10 on the LPT2. – Bernama, March 24, 2020.
