The government today announced a waiver of toll fees for Class 1 personal vehicles on highways tomorrow and Friday in conjunction with Chinese New Year celebrations.
Works Minister Alexander Nanta Linggi said the toll-free benefit will cover all highways nationwide, except two located at the country's border with Singapore - the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar and Tanjung Kupang toll plazas in Johor.
Malaysians will get to enjoy toll-free travel beginning after midnight tonight until 11.59pm Friday.
"This toll-free initiative by the government is a token of our appreciation and sharing the happiness of Malaysians in celebrating Chinese New Year.
"It is hoped that road users can make the best of this opportunity and plan their travel accordingly," the minister said in his statement.
According to Alexander, the cabinet agreed in a meeting earlier today to waive the toll fees, which would cost the government RM42.99 million.
The minister also urged motorists to follow the travel time advisory provided by highway concessionaires.
"Always abide by safety rules so that all motorists can reach their respective destinations safely and celebrate the holidays with their loved ones,” he added.
