KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysian authorities have announced a 50 per cent discount on toll charges for the upcoming Deepavali holiday period, aimed at easing travel costs for festival-bound motorists.
The toll relief will apply to major highways across the country on Friday and Saturday, coinciding with the peak travel period as Malaysians journey to celebrate the Festival of Lights with family and friends.
The initiative is expected to benefit thousands of vehicles transiting through toll plazas nationwide during the festive season. The scheme follows similar relief measures implemented for previous major holidays, reflecting efforts to reduce transportation expenses during peak travel periods.
Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance to avoid congestion, particularly during peak hours. The discount will be automatically applied at toll booths, requiring no additional documentation or advance registration from travellers.
Authorities have urged drivers to exercise caution and follow safety protocols while travelling, especially during the busy holiday period when road traffic is expected to increase significantly across main routes.
