Aidiladha: Over 2 million vehicles expected to enter Kelantan
KOTA BHARU: More than two million vehicles are expected to enter Kelantan ahead of the Hari Raya Aidiladha celebrations, which Muslims will observe this Saturday.
Kelantan police chief, Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat, said the increase in the number of vehicles is expected following the return of the state's diaspora, who usually go back to their hometowns to perform the sacrificial ritual with their families.
He said the traffic flow this time is expected to be higher compared to the previous Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations.
'Police will focus on traffic control at hotspots such as main roads, border areas and city centres to ensure smooth traffic flow throughout the festive season,' he said in a press conference after attending the Kelantan police chief's 2025 Town Hall Session at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, here, today.
Among the routes that often record high accident rates are Jalan Pasir Mas–Rantau Panjang, Jalan Kota Bharu–Kuala Krai, and Jalan Gua Musang–Jeli.
Additionally, the police have identified 41 hotspots that frequently experience severe traffic congestion, and patrols will be increased in these areas throughout the festive holiday period.

248 PPP Certificates Issued For Express Buses In Sarawak
KUCHING, May 29 (Bernama) -- A total of 248 express buses operating at three main terminals in Sarawak have been issued Certificates of Completion and Compliance (PPP) by the Road Transport Department (JPJ). Sarawak JPJ Director Norizan Jili stated that this number is the result of a week-long Road Safety Advocacy and Enforcement program held in conjunction with the 2025 festive season, which concluded yesterday. She mentioned that PPP certificates are only issued to vehicles that pass safety inspections conducted by the Sarawak Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (LPKP). "No compounds were issued following the physical inspections conducted on the vehicles," she told reporters after observing enforcement operations at Kuching Sentral Bus Terminal tonight. Besides Kuching, other main bus terminals in Sarawak are located in Sibu and Miri. Norizan emphasized that any bus without a PPP certificate is not allowed to operate and may face action, including vehicle detention and seizure. "If any deficiencies are found, such as imperfect tyres, the owner must replace them first before the vehicle is permitted to operate," she said adding that the special operation involved 105 JPJ Sarawak personnel as a measure to enhance passenger safety in conjunction with the Gawai Day and Hari Raya Aidiladha celebrations. Meanwhile, an estimated 2,000 passengers use bus services daily through the Kuching Sentral Bus Terminal to various destinations across Sarawak approaching the festive season. Earlier, Sarawak Federal Secretary Datuk Ahmad Nadzri Mohd Hassan also joined Norizan in observing the operation.
