Travel for Free This Deepavali! All Malaysian Highways Go Toll-Free on 29th – 30th October!

In a festive gesture to celebrate Deepavali, the Malaysian government has announced that all highways will be toll-free on October 29 and 30. This initiative, spearheaded by the Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, aims to ease the financial burden on Malaysians and enhance the festive spirit, especially for those celebrating Deepavali.

The toll waiver will apply to all vehicles and toll plazas across the country, with the exception of Johor’s Plaza Tol Bangunan Sultan Iskandar and Plaza Tol Tanjung Kupang. This move is expected to benefit millions of highway users, allowing them to travel more freely and plan their journeys better during the festive period.

The decision to implement toll-free travel was made in collaboration with highway concession companies, ensuring that the highways are well-prepared to handle the increased traffic. The ministry anticipates that this initiative will help manage traffic flow and prevent excessive congestion, making travel smoother and more enjoyable for everyone.

Motorists are encouraged to take advantage of this toll-free period to visit family and friends, partake in festive activities, and enjoy the holiday without the added expense of toll charges. This initiative is part of the unity government’s broader efforts to support all Malaysians, regardless of their religious or cultural backgrounds.

So, mark your calendars and get ready to hit the road without worrying about toll fees this Deepavali! Safe travels and happy celebrations!
