Toll Exemptions Announced for Christmas 2024
In celebration of Christmas, the Malaysian government has announced toll exemptions for Class 1 vehicles (personal cars) on Dec 23 and 24, 2024. The toll-free initiative will cover all highways, excluding tolls at border crossings, such as the Sultan Iskandar Building and Tanjung Kupang toll plazas.
Works Minister Alexander Nanta Linggi confirmed the exemptions will run from 12:01 AM on Dec 23 to 11:59 PM on Dec 24, costing the government approximately RM38 million.

Motorists are encouraged to plan their journeys and take advantage of digital tools such as:

- Ensuring sufficient balance in their Touch ‘n Go card or e-wallet for hassle-free toll payments at non-exempted toll plazas.
Traffic Surge Expected
The Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) predicts a surge in highway traffic, with over two million vehicles daily during the Christmas holiday and year-end school break.
To manage this, LLM has instructed highway operators to make thorough preparations for a safe and seamless experience.
