“I asked the staff at the JPJ office, but they could not explain why RM40 was deducted. Instead, they told me to head to the Touch ‘n Go office in Perling, which is 20km from the Causeway,” he wrote.
Limousine driver Ricky Ang, 29, said he had not encountered any problem with the RM20 payment, but expressed disappointment with the congestion at the Causeway.
