MP Hopes Genting Highlands Toll is Reasonable, Not Burdensome

Bentong Member of Parliament, Young Syefura Othman, hopes that the toll rate collection on Genting Highlands Road will be reasonable and not burdensome to users.

This is part of several proposals presented to Genting Malaysia, which will impose a Private Road Charge rate on the entry route to the Genting area from the Karak Highway and the entry route from Batang Kali.

In a statement, she said Genting Malaysia also needs to ensure an efficient payment collection mechanism that does not cause multiplied traffic congestion.

Additionally, Genting Malaysia should also provide special exemptions or discounts for the Private Road Charge, at the very least to residents, workers, and those with children attending school in Genting Highlands.

According to her, the company needs to ensure continuous monitoring and maintenance of the road conditions and slopes along the Genting Highlands route on a regular basis.

“Therefore, I hope all parties receive a clear explanation for the safety and comfort of visitors and users of the road to Genting.

“I will continue to hold discussions with Genting Malaysia to ensure its implementation is done well and does not adversely affect the residents,” she said.

Young Syefura said, in conjunction with the Visit Malaysia Year 2026, the Genting Highlands resort is a popular area that will receive a very large number of visitors.

“Therefore, I support any efforts and cooperation to ensure the road and slope conditions in the Genting highlands are always in a safe state,” she said.

She also clarified that the 24-kilometer Genting Highlands Road route has been confirmed by the Ministry of Works (KKR) as a private road and not a federal road.

She said since the 1960s, the maintenance of the road, slopes, and disaster mitigation works along that route have been borne cost-wise by Genting Malaysia to ensure user safety and comfort.

According to her, the construction of the Private Road Charge collection structure was done not under the jurisdiction of the Malaysian Highway Authority because it is on private land.

“However, the construction specifications and Planning Permission (KM) have already been approved by the Bentong Municipal Council.

“From discussions with Genting Malaysia, I understand the decision regarding the justification for collecting the Private Road Charge,” she said.

Ahli Parlimen Gesa Tol Genting Highlands Tidak Membebankan

Ahli Parlimen Bentong, Young Syefura Othman berharap supaya kadar kutipan tol di Jalan Genting Highlands adalah munasabah dan tidak membebankan pengguna.

Ia adalah sebahagian daripada beberapa cadangan dikemukakan kepada Genting Malaysia yang akan mengenakan kadar Caj Jalan Persendirian di laluan masuk ke kawasan Genting dari arah Lebuh Raya Karak dan laluan masuk dari Batang Kali.

Dalam satu kenyataan, beliau berkata Genting Malaysia juga perlu memastikan mekanisme kutipan bayaran yang cekap dan tidak menyebabkan kesesakan lalu lintas yang berganda.

Selain itu, Genting Malaysia juga wajar memberikan pengecualian khas atau diskaun Caj Jalan Persendirian sekurang-kurangnya kepada penduduk, pekerja serta mereka yang mempunyai anak bersekolah di Genting Highlands.

Menurutnya, syarikat itu perlu memastikan pantauan dan penyelenggaran berterusan keadaan jalan serta cerun di sepanjang laluan jalan Genting Highlands secara berkala.

“Oleh itu, saya berharap agar semua pihak mendapat penjelasan yang jelas demi keselamatan dan keselesaan pengunjung dan pengguna jalan ke Genting.

“Saya akan berterusan mengadakan perbincangan dengan pihak Genting Malaysia bagi memastikan pelaksanaannya dibuat dengan baik dan tidak menjejaskan penduduk,” katanya.

Young Syefura berkata, sempena Tahun Melawat Malaysia 2026, pusat peranginan Genting Highlands merupakan kawasan popular yang akan menerima jumlah pengunjung yang sangat ramai.

“Oleh itu, saya mendukung sebarang usaha dan kerjasama untuk memastikan keadaan jalan serta cerun di tanah tinggi Genting agar sentiasa berada dalam keadaan yang selamat,” katanya.

Beliau juga menjelaskan laluan Jalan Genting Highlands sepanjang 24 kilometer itu disahkan oleh Kementerian Kerja Raya (KKR) sebagai jalan persendirian dan bukan jalan persekutuan.

Katanya, sejak 1960-an lagi, penyelenggaran jalan, cerun serta kerja-kerja mitigasi bencana sepanjang laluan tersebut telah ditanggung kosnya oleh pihak Genting Malaysia bagi memastikan keselamatan dan keselesaan pengguna.

Menurutnya, pembinaan struktur kutipan Caj Jalan Persendirian yang dibuat bukan dibawah bidang kuasa Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia kerana diatas tanah persendirian.

“Walau bagaimanapun, spesifikasi pembinaan dan Kebenaran Merancang (KM) telahpun mendapat kelulusan pihak Majlis Perbandaran Bentong.

“Hasil perbincangan dengan pihak Genting Malaysia, saya memahami keputusan berkenaan kewajaran kutipan Caj Jalan Persendirian,” katanya.

Benda P51 – Hybrid 250cc dengan 62hp

Benda membezakan diri sebagai pengeluar yang menghasilkan motosikal dengan konsep yang ‘berani.’ Maksudnya berani secara keseluruhan, baik dari segi penampilan mahupun prestasi enjin. Mari kita ambil Benda P51 yang baru ini sebagai contoh.

Ia pertama kali dilancarkan di Pameran Motosikal Chongqing di China sebelum dipamerkan kepada khalayak antarabangsa di EICMA 2025 di Milan, Itali.

Pengeluar itu mengatakan nama itu diilhamkan oleh pesawat pejuang P-51 Mustang yang terkenal ketika Perang Dunia Kedua. Namun, sama ada anda dapat melihat kaitan nama itu atau tidak adalah perkara lain, kerana ciri paling ketara motosikal ini adalah enjinnya.

Ia merupakan jenis dua silinder mendatar 250cc atau lebih dikenali sebagai ‘Boxer.’ Ok, itu adalah titik menarik nombor 1. Untuk meningkatkan prestasinya, Benda menggandingkan enjin tersebut dengan motor elektrik, menjadikan P51 ini sebuah hibrid. Setakat ini, bagus? Sekarang, bagaimana dengan 62 hp dan 100 Nm apabila kedua-dua enjin dan motor beroperasi bersama?

Sebagai perbandingan, 62 kuasa kuda meletakkan motosikal ini setaraf dengan motosikal berkapasiti 600cc. Tambahan pula, Benda mendakwa P51 boleh memecut dari 0 ke 100 km/j dalam hanya 3.7 saat, memandangkan aci motor elektrik tersebut digear terus kepada sproket depan. Ini bermakna motosikal ini akan mengatasi pecutan mana-mana motosikal 250cc sehingga sesetengah motosikal 600cc.

Tetapi kelebihan sebenar Benda P51 ini sepatutnya ketangkasannya. Pengeluar mendakwa motosikal ini hanya seberat 177 kg, termasuk cecair. Tambahan pula, kedudukan mendatar silinder enjin yang bertentangan, dan bateri di bahagian bawah menggalakkan pusat graviti yang rendah, sesuatu yang dapat dirasai sepenuhnya terutamanya pada kelajuan rendah.

Dalam bahagian penampilan, motosikal ini mengikut falsafah Benda untuk menonjol, kelihatan seperti prototaip yang dipamerkan pengeluar lebih besar hanya untuk ‘dicairkan’ bagi tujuan pengeluaran. Jangan kita lupa, lampu depannya mempamerkan baling-baling seperti pesawat yang membentuk ‘X.’

Sebagai makluman, syarikat Benda Motors adalah anak syarikat kepada Hangzhou Saturn Power Technology Co., Ltd. yang mempunyai perkongsian strategik dengan Keeway Motorcycles. Keeway pula, berada di bawah QJMotor. Jika dinaikkan lagi, QJMotor adalah anak syarikat kepada Geely Holding Group.

Benda P51 – 62hp 250cc Hybrid

Benda distinguishes itself as a manufacturer who creates bold motorcycles. As in bold overall, both in looks and engine performance. Let us take this new Benda P51 as an example.

It was first unveiled at the Chongqing Motorcycle Expo in China before being displayed before the international crowd at EICMA 2025 in Milan, Italy.

The maker says that the name was inspired by the P-51 Mustang WWII fighter plane. But whether you can see past the relevance or otherwise is another matter because the most significant feature of this bike is its engine.

That is a 250cc flat-twin or better known as a ‘Boxer.’ Ok, that was interesting point Number 1. To boost its performance, Benda mated that engine to an electric motor, making the P51 a hybrid. So far so good? Now how about 62 hp and 100 Nm when both the engine and motor work together?

62 horses put the bike in the regions of 600cc bikes, by the way. What is more, Benda claims that the P51 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds, as the motor’s output shaft is geared directly to the front sprocket. It means that this bike will out accelerate any 250cc to some 600cc bikes.

But the real advantage of the Benda P51 should be its agility. The maker claims the bike weighs just 177 kg, wet. Furthermore, the horizontal placement of the opposed engine cylinders, and the battery at the bottom promotes a low centre of gravity, something that can be fully felt especially at low speeds.

In the looks department, the bike follows Benda’s philosophy of making a statement, looking like prototypes that bigger manufacturers show off only to water down for production. Lest we forget, the headlight features an aircraft-like propeller which forms an ‘X.”

By the way, the Benda Motorcycles company is a subsidiary of the Hangzhou Saturn Power Technology Co., Ltd. who has a strategic partnership with Keeway Motorcycles. Keeway, on the other hand, is under QJMotor. Going further up, QJMotor is a subsidiary of a certain Geely Holding Group.
