Kuala lumpur: Traffic flow on several major highways has been reported to be under control despite an increase in the number of vehicles as of 6.30 pm today, ahead of the Chinese New Year holidays on Tuesday and the upcoming Ramadan.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, a spokesperson for the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) stated that traffic remained manageable along the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Highway, East Coast Expressway (LPT) 1 and 2, as well as the North-South Expressway (PLUS) E2 heading towards Johor.
