Yes, that’s a week left to Chinese New Year. This week will also see the start of the balik kampung exodus, particularly from Friday onwards while the Ops Sikap XII to nab traffic offenders during the festive season begins today. Traffic on inter-urban expressways such as the North-South Expressway, East Coast Expressway and Karak Expressway is expected to be heavy and congestion is expected on Friday night and Saturday morning. Perhaps we all would remember that last year, Chinese New Year also fell on Sunday and traffic on the North-South Expressway on Saturday, Chinese New Year eve came to a severe congestion in the morning. The same situation is expected to happen this time round.
