For the half-year ended December 2014, toll revenue rose by 63.7% to nearly $602 million, compared to the corresponding period in 2013, a company statement said.

The Malaysian authorities are setting out plans to upgrade a key link in the country, the 62km Segamat-Tangkak road.

At present the Malaysian Public Works Ministry is preparing the tender process and is finalising the design.
