PETALING JAYA: A group of Chinese villagers came to the aid of travellers using back roads to beat the congestion following the end of the Aidilfitri holidays.
Zairul Annuar Zain was using a “rat route” in Ladang Bikam, Perak, while heading south on Saturday night, in hopes of evading the traffic jam on the PLUS highway, Bernama reported.
With several cars also taking the same route, it was not long before the journey got more bumpy because of the bad road conditions.
“It was already 10pm. Suddenly, a vehicle from the opposite direction stopped and asked us to turn back as the cars couldn’t pass because of the hilly, poor road conditions. It meant that we had to turn back and face the traffic congestion,” he said.
