Motorists using the Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH), the Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE), the Kemuning-Shah Alam Expressway (LKSA) and the Kajang SILK Highway (SILK) will enjoy a 10 percent toll discount in conjunction with Deepavali.

Group chief executive officer of PROLINTAS Datuk Mohammad Azlan Abdullah said in a statement on Wednesday, the toll discount would begin from 6 am on Oct 18 until 6 am Oct 19 for class 1 vehicles only.

"The discount will hopefully reduce the burden of expenses borne by the motorists, especially those celebrating Deepavali," he said.

More than 300,000 motorists of PROLINTAS highway are expected to enjoy the benefit, he said.
