KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic on several major expressways across the country began slowing by midday on Saturday (Feb 21) amid rising vehicle numbers, with delays expected at several stretches. A spokeswoman for the Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia (LLM) said northbound traffic on the PLUS highway was moving slowly from Perai to Juru, from Sungai Perak (km 258.5) to the Meru Tunnel, and from Gopeng to Tapah.
