Private employee, Amir Zahin, 32, said such an initiative would help reduce traffic congestion experienced by Malaysians each time there was a festival that involves interstate travel.
According to him, the Chinese New Year celebration also involves other races who will take the opportunity to go on vacation with their families. "Waiving toll charges will surely help to save costs and reduce congestion due to Touch N Go and Radio Frequency Identification ," said Chew, who would be returning to Kuala Selangor on Saturday.
"Even those of us who are not Chinese want to return to our hometowns and would like to save some costs too," he said.
