On the other hand the report also explains that the risks of bureaucracy, intervention and corruption continue to be the main danger for the industry in the region. It quotes an example of intervention in Malaysia:...in January 2011 Prime Minister Najib Razak asked all highway concessionaires to either freeze, cut or abolish tol rates without compensation. MTD Capital, the country's second largest road operator, will freeze toll rates on the KL-Karak highway and the East Coast Highway Phase 1 for five years without compensation and without an extension on toll concessions.
