Various reaction price rises and commuter monorail. Some are positive and some are negative. Private sector employees, Dzulafiq Zainal, 28, said the increase was not justified due to fear of burdening low-income people. "It's hard for families earning below RM5,000 like me to live in the capital because we know the price of goods increased in the presence of all goods and services tax (GST)," he said. Civil servants, Nasrin Mohd. Hasni, 53, said he felt burdened due to changes in prices of close to 100 percent to get to work. He said he himself had to use two public transport and the LRT commuters to get to work. "So when there is increase my assessment is nearing 100 per cent, it is very onerous," he said.
In the meantime, private sector employee, Mohd. Dani Othman, 34, said the price increase did not affect her life as LRT users on a daily basis. "Although the price of public transport fares have rise, but the cost of transportation is still at a low level compared with that car," he said. Helmi Samsuddin, 46, said, as foreigners working in the country, the case is not a serious issue for those services provide comfort to him to move from one place to another. "The rise in prices is definitely the best for maintenance services. So it does not matter if the increase is for user comfort, "he said.
The issue is particularly surprising Malaysian. But President KTM, Lt. Col. (B) Talented Tijan said the new fare hike by way station to station, but the fare for the commuter route between the River Gadut to Saki and Kamunting Desert had no changes. "This new fare rate is to cover operating costs and maintenance costs are increasing every year," he said at a press conference announced the new rates in KL Sentral Station in Kuala Lumpur.
