Azman also urged customers who require to travel on urgent matters to plan their journey properly and ensure that their Touch ‘n Go card and e-Wallets are sufficiently reloaded to minimize disruptions and need for physical interactions at the toll plazas.
Customers are also advised to adhere to the standard safety SOPs of wearing a face mask, registering on the MySejahtera app, checking temperatures at the designated points and keeping a safe distance of one-meter apart when lining up for food or using the highway facilities such as the Rest and Service Areas (R&Rs) and other public places during this period, he said.
