In conjunction with the upcoming Deepavali celebration on 31 October this Thursday, the government is granting a toll exemption for a total of two days. If you’re planning a trip around Malaysia in the next couple of days, you should definitely take advantage of the free toll.

The two-day toll exemption is set to begin tomorrow on 29 October at 12:01AM until 30 October – which is a day before Deepavali – at 11:59PM. Of course, do ensure that you enter and exit the highway within the set timeframe to enjoy the toll exemption.

Speaking of which, the toll exemption applies to Class 1 vehicles (private cars, basically) on most highways throughout Malaysia, except for the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (BSI) toll plaza and the Tanjung Kupang, Johor toll plaza. Given that tolls will be free for the next two days, expect more vehicles to be on the road. Happy Deepavali!
