KUALA LUMPUR: Police have denied that the traffic congestion at the Jalan Duta Toll Plaza on May 31 was caused by motorists returning to their hometowns as viralled on social media yesterday.
Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) chief ACP Zulkefly Yahya said the three-kilometre crawl occurred between 12.30pm and 2.30pm on that date.
“The main cause of congestion was due to the thorough inspection by police to ensure that member of the public followed the standard operating procedure (SOP) that had been set and it was found that the vehicles had inter-state travel permits,” he said in a statement today.
