In conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2026, which is approaching, PLUS Malaysia Berhad expects a surge in traffic on major highways, especially the outflow from the Klang Valley towards hometowns. So, what should you know about it?

The Government today announced a special 50% toll discount for highway travel on 28 and 29 March in conjunction with the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration. In a press conference in Melaka today, Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said that the initiative involves an estimated RM19.69 million, which will be used to compensate the affected highway concessionaires.

Previously, we shared how the Federal Government will no longer offer free tolls during festive seasons starting this year, with a more targeted approach to be implemented in its place. Accordingly, the recent Chinese New Year celebration saw a 50% toll discount for travellers, and the Works Ministry has confirmed that this would be implemented for other festive seasons in 2025.

To help the public enjoy a more comfortable and smooth journey during the upcoming Christmas and year-end holidays, PLUS Malaysia Berhad (PLUS) announced that it will activate Smart Lanes at 25 locations along the PLUS Highway from 20 December 2024 to 2 January 2025.

The Public Works Ministry has announced that users of the West Coast Expressway (WCE) who go through the Section 1 toll plaza (Banting Interchange) will be enjoying free toll for a month. The free toll starts from Merdeka Day tomorrow (12.01am 31 August) until 11.59pm 29 September.

If you are planning to “Balik Kampung” this Christmas Eve, this news might please you. Recently, Deputy Minister of Works Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan announced that tolls will be waived for two days. That said, what should you know about it?

Getting through tolls on highways could soon be less of a hassle in the near future. Touch 'n Go (TnG) has finally announced the implementation of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology for the TnG cards. Not only that, but the government has also stated that it will soon allow the public to pay using any digital payment provider, not just TnG.

For those unaware, the government is considering switching the tolls in Malaysia to fully cashless. The plan is to phase out Touch 'n Go and cash payments for RFID payments. However, things haven't been too smooth.

Despite the conditional movement control order (CMCO), many parties are preparing for an increase in activity with Hari Raya just around the corner. PLUS Malaysia is expecting traffic to increase during the holidays and has taken steps to make it easier to support road users. Earlier today, the company announced Putri, a new AI chatbot that will help with user feedback and customer services.
