Balik kampung rush in full swing on July 9

KUALA LUMPUR: The "balik kampung" rush out of the heavily-populated Klang Valley ahead of the Aidiladha celebration Sunday was in full swing this morning.

Traffic volume on major highways from the federal capital to the north, east and south of the peninsula was reported to be heavy since early in the day, as people took the opportunity of the long weekend break to be back in their hometowns for the celebration.
