# Gov’t U-Turns, Announces 50% Discount On Tolls During Chinese New Year

##### The Malaysian government has approved a 50% toll discount for Chinese New Year 2025. The announcement, made after a Cabinet meeting today, is part of the MADANI administration's commitment to unity and public welfare.

The toll discount will cost the government an estimated **RM20.08 million** in compensation to toll concessionaires.

This initiative continues the festive toll assistance program introduced in 2023, which has so far cost the government **RM356.18 million** for free tolls during major festivals up until 2024.

The 50% toll discount will be implemented from **12.01 am on January 27, 2025 (Monday), until 11.59 pm on January 28, 2025 (Tuesday)**.

The discount applies to **Class 1 private vehicles** across all toll plazas except at border plazas, specifically Sultan Iskandar Building Toll Plaza (BSI) on the North-South Expressway (PLUS) and Tanjung Kupang Toll Plaza on the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link (LINKEDUA).
