As reported by Harian Metro, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong announced that the ban will be gazetted soon. The purpose behind the ban is so that traffic would be smooth following the expected increase of the number of vehicles on highways as Malaysians go back to their hometowns during the festive season.

Wee Ka Siong asserted,

“I have signed the order, which is similar to the ones imposed before this whereby it will imposed three days before Hari Raya and two days after. When it is gazetted, all permit owners, especially commercial vehicles are bound by the order.”
