Selamat Hari Raya : Go Home Festival


Every year after 'puasa' or fasting for one month, all Muslims will celebrate Hari Raya. In Malaysia it's a happening festive that celebrate by all Malays and also their Chinese, Indian and other races in Malaysia. Multiracial in Malaysia made us tolerance and always celebrate almost every festival.

Today, I want to touch about go home festival. It's time for everybody that work in the city going back to their hometown due to Raya celebration. I want to mention here, not only Malays going back but also others including myself. At this moment, all bus ticket or flight ticket price will rise and always short. Who's late to get their ticket home will consume most of their time alone in the city.

The most happening was the highways and federal road. It's stuck everywhere. It's a money making seasons for a highway's concession as the amount of road users increase. I want to share a little bit of tip to avoid traffic congestion on this go home festival.

Tip on avoiding traffic congestion

Follow the schedule provided by PLUS or Malaysia Highway Board. 

Service your car before start your journey. A broken car in the middle of peak hour always causes traffic congestion and it spoiled your mood.


Prepare junk food and drink. Just to avoid you from sleeping while driving. Without accident the road users will not slow down their car just to look what happen and take a photo.

Drive at the ideal speed. I means do not drive slow as you want to go round the town. When you slow your vehicle, it may start a chain reaction that will the whole highway slow. 

Get enough rest. You was not a well train commando or tactical drivers. Just rest enough so you may avoid accidents that may cause the traffic congestion.

Plan your whole journey. Plan A and Plan B. 

Good luck on the road.
