Only serving the public will rebuild govt image

The Ministry of Transport may not have anticipated this.

As soon as its statistical report on financial conditions of toll roads for fiscal year 2013 was published, the ministry became a subject of mockery. There is the prevailing belief that it is exaggerating losses so it can prolong collecting tolls.

While that is yet to be confirmed, the MOT is indeed trying to revise a 2004 decree on toll road management, under which many toll roads will stop collecting fees in the next few years.
