A 50 percent discount on toll charges will be implemented across Malaysian expressways during the Deepavali celebration period, commencing from midnight tomorrow for a two-day duration.
The concessional rate applies to all vehicle categories using toll plazas throughout the country during the specified festive window. Authorities have introduced the measure to facilitate smoother traffic flow and reduce travel costs for motorists celebrating the festival of lights.
Deepavali, one of the major festivals observed in Malaysia's Hindu community, sees increased vehicular movement as families travel to visit relatives and participate in celebrations. The toll discount forms part of broader festive arrangements by transport authorities to support holiday travel patterns.
Mottorists are advised to plan their journeys accordingly during the two-day period to take advantage of the reduced toll rates. The concession is expected to benefit both regular commuters and those undertaking longer intercity journeys during the festival season.
