A spokesman for the Malaysian highway authority (LLM) said this included the North-South Expressway (PLUS) heading north from Sungai Buaya to Bukit Tagar, Lembah Beringin to Tanjung Malim, Slim River to Bidor, Tapah to Gopeng, Jawi to Bukit Tambun, Juru to Perai, and Permatang Pauh to Bertam.

“The southbound traffic is slow at Nilai enroute to the Seremban RNR, Putra Mahkota to Nilai and Bandar Ainsdale to Senawang while northbound traffic is also slow moving at Kulai to Sedenak,” he said when contacted.

Apart from PLUS, he said the same situation was reported on the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway, heading east from Gombak to Lentang, and Jalan Utama Mempaga to the Karak toll plaza.

On the East Coast Highway (LPT) 2, traffic is slow moving from the 432.7KM mark, heading north to the Kuala Terengganu toll plaza.

Meanwhile, traffic flow on the main federal roads, including Gua Musang-Kuala Lipis, is reported to be congested, with a 6km-long traffic jam as of 9am today.

Gua Musang police chief Sik Choon Foo said he expected the increase in vehicle volume to continue this evening, and that traffic dispersal would be carried out from time to time.

To help manage traffic, he said, the number of personnel on duty has been increased.
