After the recent video above went viral, many wonder if a toll will be up soon at the famous Genting Highlands road.

It is to be believed that the Pahang government is aware of the project, and the developer has met all conditions to build the structure.

However, in a statement, Ketari assemblyman Thomas Su said he had yet to receive information regarding the toll plaza but would be meeting representatives from Genting Highlands' management on Nov 28.

The Genting Highlands road has been privately owned and maintained since the 1960s and heavy use of the road has caused major damage, needing constant maintenance for safety.

"The private road charge is necessary because of the steep and escalating costs of maintaining the 24km private road and its slopes, which have been borne solely by us since the 1960s," the company said in a statement.

Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
