PUTRAJAYA – Goods vehicles are allowed to travel on public roads during Hari Raya Aidilfitri this year, said the Transport Ministry (MoT).
“Due to a blanket ban on all interstate and inter-district travel nationwide from May 12 to June 7 to curb Covid-19 transmissions, the ministry will not implement any road ban on goods vehicles during the upcoming Aidilfitri festive season,” it said in a statement today.
The MoT in previous years implemented a ban on goods vehicles travelling on public roads during Aidilfitri, as a measure to reduce traffic congestion and raise road safety in anticipation of high volumes of motorists returning to their hometowns for celebrations.
MoT also reminded road users to stay updated on the latest information via the National Security Council’s website or Telegram channel and comply with Covid-19 standard operating procedures wherever applicable. – Bernama, May 11, 2021
