Transport Minister Anthony Loke held discussions with toll concession companies and they have agreed to lift the toll charges on those two days, Anwar said at a press conference after the Cabinet meeting today. Anwar advised all Malaysians to be careful on the road and to abide by road safety rules while travelling during the festive week, in reference to the number of road casualties lately.
To further ensure road safety during the CNY week, Loke previously said that 2,000 Road Transport Department officers will be deployed to conduct strict enforcement in order to reduce road crashes and deaths.Vehicles transporting goods are banned from going on roads two days before Chinese New Year and two days after to reduce traffic congestion.
He also announced that seven traffic offences will be non-compoundable throughout the festive season. Those caught flouting road safety rules will be referred to the courts instead of being offered a fine. Share your thoughts with us via TRP’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
