DAY OUT WITH CEO

DAY OUT WITH CEO

PREFACE

Unique to the previous installation of "Day Out with CEO" program, 2018 gives focus on

more generic topics with the chosen theme "Tomorrow: The Insight Of Toll Highway

Industry". Albeit the theme, this program objectives and traditions of fostering the

relationship between public and private sectors shall remain unchanged. The Ministry of

Works is committed in ensuring all relevant sectors including toll industry to continuously

prosper and move forward in accordance to the national aspiration.

The 5th edition of this program will continue to discuss relevant topics, current issues and

future potentials. It is paramount that we communicate the relevancy of our industry

economics and at the same time make effort to further improve our performance for the

benefit of all stakeholders.

The government shall remain committed focusing on priority projects that will benefit Rakyat

more and eliminating any loopholes that leads to wastage. Ministry of Works will continue to

support any win-win initiatives to realize the aspiration of the Government, Rakyat and all

relevant stakeholders such as the Toll Highway Industry. Collectively, the industry has the

responsibility to address the Rakyat's concerns and continuously improving the service

provided.

It is hope that together we take this opportunity to initiate a greater tomorrow for our

industry.

Thank you.

YB. Tuan Baru Bian

Minister of Works, Malaysia

FOREWORD

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the organizers and sponsors for their invaluable

contributions, which were indispensable in organizing this event which enabled a balanced representation of this

highway sector. Thank you for the effort and energy put into preparation and management of this event.

‘DAY OUT WITH CEO’ is an annual event to encourage interactions among industry’s key players where we shall

reconvene to discuss the way forward of our Toll Industry.

In line with this year’s theme “TOMORROW – THE INSIGHT OF TOLL HIGHWAY INDUSTRY”, our focus is to

deliberate the relevancy of toll highways and their contributions to the economic and social development. In

addition, we shall also elaborate in finding the right balance between managing road safety issues, social needs and

perceptions of the public.

Undoubtedly, highways are the arteries through which the economy pulses. They link our economic output to

market across industries as diverse as forestry, manufacturing, food production, construction, as well as

retail and wholesale trade. Highways open more areas and stimulate economic growth and social development.

Notwithstanding the productivity benefits of the above, we are far from understanding the safety implications of

these accelerating developments, in terms of their costs and benefits. All elements of the road safety

management system must be aligned with effectiveness, efficiency and equitability. Furthermore, the

determination of bridging the gaps on public expectation in the context of leveraging the industry’s

operational responsibilities must also be considered.

Apparently, there is a growing need for the highway sector to be responsive to public expectations concerning these

issues and to show leadership in addressing them. The challenges of ensuring our highways meet

our immediate and future needs require cooperation between governments and all levels of industry’s key players.

Therefore, as this synergy can neither be a one-off nor a one-sided exercise; we highly appreciate the interest of all

participants to continuously follow and support this public private partnership.

We believe the ideas behind the theme “TOMORROW – THE INSIGHT OF TOLL HIGHWAY INDUSTRY”, in the long

run, shall contribute towards revolutionary changes in corporate beliefs, increase value for public and resulting in

sustaining overall economic growth and prosperity.

So, lets engage now in this challenging task of accelerating our highway industry for a better tomorrow.

Thank you.

Mr. Sazally Bin Saidi

President, PSKLM

YBhg. Dato’ Sr. Aziz Bin Abdullah

Director General, LLM

Much have been said about the toll

highways these days, from both ends of the

pros and cons spectrum. However, even the

most ardent critics of the industry cannot deny

the fact that Toll highways brings about a wide

range of economic and lifestyle benefits. Our

industry has attracted businesses alongside its

corridor, promotes social wellbeing by

providing access to various jobs, services,

leisure activities and connectivity to other

transport modes. But the greatest benefit lies

in the economic advantage the industry has

given to the country; Malaysia today can boast

of having one of the most well-developed

highway infrastructure in the world.

Given the costs involved in building up such

infrastructure, the industry is one of the

earliest and largest sectors in Malaysia to have

tapped and stimulated the debt capital

markets. RAM Ratings estimated that RM53bil

of bonds and Sukuk were issued by toll road

concessionaires, and this investment has been

historically vital in bridging the funding gap for

the road infrastructure in Malaysia.

The importance of generating toll revenue as

funding source for infrastructure construction

and maintenance underlines the synergy

between toll industry and the capital markets.

So much so, the shares of highway

concessionaires are largely held by local

institutional investors and government linked

pension funds for a stable and consistent

returns. For example, the EPF has a 49% stake

in toll highway operator PLUS Malaysia Bhd,

while Khazanah Nasional Bhd’s unit UEM

Group Bhd owns the remaining equity. With

this notion in mind, part of this forum shall

deliberate on the topic of Toll’s industry

relevancy from the investment point of view, as

to appreciate its role as a catalyst to economic

benefits.

OVERVIEW

According to a recent survey conducted by

the World Economic Forum, Malaysia has the

one of the best network of road in the world

and is ranked 19th. Rated from a scale of one

to seven, with seven being the best, Malaysia

has been given a score of 5.6 – that puts it on

the same tier as South Korea and ahead of

Sweden and Denmark. The rating surprisingly

puts Malaysia ahead of nations that are

expected to offer better highway conditions

such as Canada, Belgium, Australia and

Norway.

Despite the industry’s best intentions and

successful realization of its key objectives, the

Rakyat’s acceptance and perception has always

been the key issue in realizing the full

relevancy of the toll industry. Perceived high

toll fare rates and increasing congestion in

highways have divided the nations in terms of

opinions about the industry effectiveness, and

there is a rising demand that the industry

address some of the Rakyat’s real concerns.

The Malaysia Highway Concessionaires

Association (PSKLM) is much aware of this

demand from the Rakyat and has stated that

the highway concessionaires are “committed

to work with the government to achieve a

holistic consensus for the benefit of all

parties and the country’s well-being”. In this

forum, we hope that this major challenge on

the industry are further examined, as we need

to understand and deliberate on the

perspective and perceptions of the Rakyat on

the Toll Industry.

So what will the Malaysian Toll highways look

like in the future? What is the vision of the

tomorrow? In the age of increasing demand for

mobility and traffic capacity, where

economic, political, social, environmental and

technological change are expected to occur

more rapidly, the future can be uncertain.

What’s driving the change? More cars, for one

thing – the world’s vehicle count is

expected to grow by 3 % (Malaysia – 2.3% in

2018) every year until 2030. Many of these

vehicles will take to the streets of cities like

Kuala Lumpur and its surroundings, because

the proportion of people living in urban areas

will hit 75% by 2050. This means, cities can no

longer be designed around cars; vehicles must

fit into cities. As such the industry has to

explore possible futures based on current

trends and trajectories as well as emerging

ideas and solutions. The industry has to move

beyond from just the day-to day

focus on operational issues and explore forces

that may shape highways and transport

infrastructure in the future.

Sustainability

Sustainability is the keyword here. There are

trends and forces that are shaping highways

that we have to take advantage of to remain

relevant, starting now and in the future. For

example, climate change, urbanisation,

technological innovation, demographic shifts

and the changing behaviours of travellers are

trends that are too important to ignore. Imagine

if highway users could make a seamless,

integrated journey by electric bus, driverless car

and bike hire – all paid for easily through your

smartphone. Imagine a highway pavement that

doubles as a solar panel, or pavements that

turn footsteps into electricity.

These are some of the scenarios we

envisage in the future and understanding these

trends is key to radically rethinking travel and

future-proofing our highways. The vision of the

future for toll highways are the future where

road networks are safe, accessible and

interconnected. In this future, vital road

infrastructure will enable economic growth; it

will be resilient, energy-efficient and

sustainable. MIMOS has clearly envisioned this

future by stating that “Malaysia’s highway as a

World Class, Fast, Convenient and Intelligent

preferred Expressway of certified digital and

sustainable green technology”. The topic of

Sustainability in Toll Highways shall also be

addressed in this forum as we envisioned the

Toll Highways of tomorrow.

Apart from the above concerns, the following

are some of the other challenges that the

industry have to continually face in light of the

increased demands as the population and

economy grow. These topics are discussed to

some extent in this forum.

Adopting New Technologies

Electronic tolling technologies change as new

innovations occur. In a long run, highways

must employ technological innovations that

eliminates delays and ensures the free flow of

traffic. Instead of slowing down to pay, drivers

either pay with an electronic transponder

connected to a e-wallet account or by having

their license plate recorded by a high-speed

camera that provides digital data the operator

uses for calculating and delivering monthly

bills. Touch ‘n Go has started this

revolution by introducing the e-wallet for the

RFID sticker tag deployment and soon, the

e-wallet convenience shall be available for the

Touch ‘n Go cards users as well.

Greater Safety

Highway safety shall always remain a

relevant topic and is of paramount concern to

all stakeholders. Each stakeholder has a vital

role to play to ensure greater safety.

Presentations on the topic of highway safety

are discussed in this forum.

Reducing Pollution

Reducing traffic congestion and implementing green

technology like LED lightings along the highways to

reduce harmful emissions shall remain key issues in

implementing sustainable practices in the industry.

In summary, some of the innovations

needed to address these challenges are already

happening. Our hope that the ideas in this

“Day out with CEO: Tomorrow” forum shall

open up new possibilities. Our vision is that

tomorrow’s Toll Highways will paved the way

towards seamless mobility of highway network

that is safe and convenient for the Rakyat,

energy efficient, less traffic congestion with

reduced gas emissions and other forms of

pollution. In order to meet this Tomorrow, we

must lay the foundation of this vision today.
