The government has announced a 50% discount on toll charges in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri. The two-day 50% discount will be effective from 12.01 am this Friday, March 28 until 11.59 pm the following day, Saturday, March 29.
The 50% discount is applicable for Class 1 private vehicles at all toll plazas except those at borders, namely the Sultan Iskandar Building toll plaza on the PLUS North-South Highway and the Tanjung Kupang toll plaza on the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link (Linkedua).
In a statement, works minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said that the move would cost the government about RM19.69 million in compensation to the toll concessionaires. He added that the toll discount is a continuation of the festive toll aid that has been implemented by the government for the four main festive seasons in Peninsular Malaysia since 2023.
He hoped that all highway users would make use of this toll discount and plan their journeys accordingly to avoid traffic congestion during the period.
Earlier in January, the government said it would no longer offer highway toll exemptions for festive season holidays this year, with a targeted approach being used instead. A month later, it announced that a 50% toll discount will be implemented during all festive seasons in 2025 to replace the previous toll-free initiative.
