The Managing Director of PLUS, Noorizah Abd Hamid expects Malaysian drivers to be Ghost-riders?
Via MyPennySense.com…
Class 1 motorists using the North-South Expressway and the North-South Expressway Central Link (Elite) highways will enjoy a 10% discount on toll fees in conjunction with Chinese New Year.
Highway concessionaire PLUS managing director Noorizah Abd Hamid said in a statement yesterday that the discount would be applicable from 12.01am to 7am on Jan 21, 22, 23, 26, 29 and 30.
It is in addition to the 10% discount already enjoyed by Class 1 vehicles travelling during off-peak hours on both expressways since Jan 1, she added.
PLUS did not take into consideration the people who have problem driving at night, or those who might have worked so hard in the day, and because of the enticing 10% discount, drives in half-hibernating mode, and ended up causing accidents along the highway. The 10% discount might just not be worth the troubles!
To PLUS: We (road users) are not dumb, your hypocritical discount just passes you off as an insincere corporate citizen. Not only did you flexed your media muscles with the wrong strategy, you’ve also underestimated the intelligence of the average road users.
Anyway, if you really want to exploit the Ghost-rider discount, just make sure you are fit to drive at night. Use a night-vision goggle if you have to or stock up caffeine (not sure if there is a legal limit) in the car.
A more responsible act would be to place more Ronda personnel along the highway, especially on accident-prone stretches. Maybe giving free coffee or snacks at the R&R stops could easily get drivers to take a break on their long journey home.
Anything is better than enticing drivers to drive past midnight! Yawnnn….
