The Pakatan Harapan Government will abolish highway tolls in stages.
Another factor that contributes to rising prices is the drop in our Ringgit
value in the international market. The value of Ringgit has depreciated
compared to almost all major world currencies, including Thailand Baht and
Bangladeshi Taka! Malaysia imports more than 90 percent of our dairy
products, 70 percent of meat, and 50 percent of vegetables. When Ringgit
plummets, the prices of these items surge. The Pakatan Harapan
Government will give the responsibility to Bank Negara Malaysia to devise a
strategy to revive the Ringgit value within 3 years, in a more sustainable
way.
