PETALING JAYA: The government has announced toll exemptions for all highways on Tuesday and Wednesday in conjunction with Deepavali.
This initiative will cost the government some RM38 million.
Works minister Alexander Nanta Linggi said they would only apply to personal vehicles.
The exemptions will be implemented at all highways from 12.01am tomorrow and end at 11.59pm the following day.
However, they will not apply to tolls at the country’s borders, namely the Sultan Iskandar Building and Tanjung Kupang toll plazas in Johor.
“This initiative is in line with the unity government’s aspirations to help reduce the cost of living of the rakyat while bolstering cultural unity among our nation’s multiethnic society,” Nanta said in a statement.
He advised road users to plan their journeys ahead of time and to follow the highway authorities’ travel time advisory.
