malaysiakini on the TOLLS Discount - FULL DISCLOSURE Better

The reaction of Malaysians to the toll discount as described in this malaysiakini article Longer toll discount hours requested shows that most Malaysians are thinking more critically now as some consider the midnight discount to be more unsafe for driving.
The hours between 12midnight and 2am are the most dangerous as that is the time that most people experience "deep sleep". Unless you work on a 12hour shift and adjusted to being awake those hours, driving on the highway during those hours is not recommended.
If you want to feel what it's like, just try to stay awake for those 2:30am Champion Leagues football matches or go to bed at 11pm and try to wake up at 2am.
You may save a few ringgit on tolls but a car accident may cost thousands if not your life.
It is better if the government discloses all those toll agreements and let the public study if they have been taken for a ride.
The government should also disclose all the tenders(?) received for the Waste Disposal plan that is being opposed by a few states.
