It’s a slow, slow drive back to the city

It’s a real crawl: Traffic is almost at a standstill at the Toll Plaza near the Kuala Lumpur-Karak highway as many return from the Chinese New Year holidays.

PETALING JAYA: The travel rush back from the Chinese New Year holiday celebration has started with heavy traffic recorded along major highways across the country.

According to a spokesman from PLUS Malaysia Berhad, in the north, heavy traffic was recorded since afternoon from Juru to Bandar Cassia in Penang followed by slow traffic from Changkat Jering to Kuala Kangsar due to hilly roads.
