KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic conditions in Kuala Lumpur have eased on Saturday (March 13) after heavy congestion was reported on Friday (March 12).
Kuala Lumpur traffic investigation and enforcement department chief Asst Comm Zulkefly Yahya said he was aware of heavy congestion especially at the Sungai Besi toll plaza on Friday. We discovered that 80% of cars (compared to pre-MCO days) are on the road and it might have contributed to the congestion. However, 90% of the motorists are from the Klang Valley and 10% were from other states. Those checked had proper travel permits, he said.
