Happy Chinese New Year from DSF and we want to help you stay safe during your holiday highway travels
To all DSF readers, friends, and family traveling on Malaysia’s highways, it’s essential to be prepared in case of an unexpected car breakdown. If your vehicle experiences a malfunction while on the road, make sure to stay calm and immediately reach out to the relevant highway hotline for roadside assistance.
The highway authorities offer free services that include on-the-spot repairs or towing to the nearest toll exit, ensuring you don’t get stranded for too long. When you experience a breakdown, the first step is to identify your location. Look for the green and white sign next to the road.
Moreover, the sign will display a number that corresponds to your exact location, which is crucial for the highway team to provide assistance quickly and efficiently. Once you’ve noted the number, call the hotline for the highway you’re traveling on to request help.
