KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 17): Various quarters, especially highway users expressed relief over the Government's decision not to sell the Projek Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan (PLUS) Malaysia Berhad and to reduce the toll rates by 18 percent.

The decision has ended rumours about the sale of the country's biggest highway concessionaire and the PLUS takeover issue which had attracted at least five bidders including Maju Holdings Sdn Bhd and businessman Tan Sri Halim Saad and partner Datuk Wong Gian Kui.
