Deputy Speaker of the State Assembly Haniza's appointment as the Deputy Speaker of the Selangor State Assembly in 2008 has made history in Malaysia as the first woman to hold the post in any state. The announcement on the appointment was made by Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim on 20 April 2008. Haniza's achievement is mentioned as being the pride of women, especially in Taman Medan, either from her own party or the Barisan Nasional (BN) party. Toll Reduction NPE PJS2 Haniza won the insistence of the people of Taman Medan to abolish the toll on the New Pantai Expressway (NPE) at PJS2. This toll which charges RM1.60 is said to burden the residents who make NPE the main route. The toll is also said to have caused congestion and accidents in the area. Through a press conference held at his office on May 7, 2008, Haniza urged the federal government to look into the issue. This insistence was also supported by the locals (including those from the UMNO party) who staged a protest on 7 February 2009. These insistence efforts bore fruit on 14 February 2009 when the federal government agreed to abolish tolls on the road, in the lane leading to Kuala Lumpur. However, tolls in the lanes towards Subang Jaya and Kelana Jaya were maintained. Haniza continued its efforts to lobby the federal government to abolish tolls in both lanes as according to her, congestion and security problems were not resolved with the closure of only one lane. Finally, on 17 February 2001, the federal government announced the reduction of tolls on the highway leading to Subang Jaya and Kelana Jaya, from RM1.60 to RM1.00. The NPE is 19.5 kilometers long, opened since April 30, 2004. It is worth RM1.2 billion and is operated by the concessionaire New Pantai Express Way Sdn Bhd.
