KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic flow on several major highways heading to the Klang Valley is congested as of 8pm tonight, as people begin returning from their hometowns after the Aidiladha holiday.
A Malaysian Highway Authority spokesman said traffic flow from the north on the North-South Expressway (PLUS) was slow-moving at several locations, including Alor Setar Selatan to Sungai Petani, Bandar Cassia to Taiping and Sungai Perak to Ipoh.
