Hari Raya Aidilfitri will be celebrated on Saturday, March 21, as officially announced by Syed Danial Syed Ahmad.
In conjunction with the celebration, Anwar Ibrahim announced that an additional public holiday will be granted on Friday, March 20, giving Malaysians a longer festive break to prepare and travel.
To further ease travel during the festive period, the government is also providing a 50% toll discount nationwide. The discount will take effect from 12:01am on March 18 until 11:59pm on March 19, covering private passenger vehicles classified as Class 1 across most highways.
This initiative is expected to benefit millions of Malaysians travelling back to their hometowns to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri with their families.
