News & Reviews:   Balik Kampung

There's going to be a string of public holidays in Malaysia soon with Hari Raya Aidiladha or Raya Haji, Wesak and the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s birthday just around the corner. Many Malaysians are expected to Balik Kampung soon. PLUS Malaysia Berhad have announced the peak traffic dates to watch: 22, 23, 26, 28, 29, 30 and 31 May 2026 for those leaving the Klang Valley and 4, 5, 6 and 7 June 2026 for those returning.

Traffic accidents seem to be synonymous with the long trek back to hometowns and kampung so JPJ has set up a WhatsApp number (011-51115252) so you can report traffic offenses. While this is definitely useful for reporting those emergency lane drivers, do remember that any picture or video reported to the number should be done by a passenger and not the driver. Also, make sure you get a visible license plate if you want it to be effective.
