**PETALING JAYA** - With the long holiday period done and dusted, Malaysians making their way back to the city have now found themselves in massive jams lasting well into midnight.

A Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA) spokesperson stated that as of 10pm yesterday (May 4), vehicles making their way from Alor Setar along the North-South highway heading towards Sungai Petani, Bukit Merah heading to Changkat Jering, Bukit Berapit heading to Menora Tunnel, Ipoh heading to Gopeng and Tapah heading to Songkai were seen stuck in a bottleneck jam.
