In February 2030, the Federal Territory Day public holiday, Chinese Lunar New Year, and Hari Raya Aidilfitri will all happen consecutively, and it is expected that highways will face massive traffic jams at that time.
On social media Threads, a user named @anakjalanan1992 shared the 2030 calendar. According to the post, in February 2030, the Federal Territory Day public holiday falls on February 1st (Friday), Chinese Lunar New Year on February 3rd (Sunday) and 4th (Monday), and Hari Raya Aidilfitri on February 5th (Tuesday) and 6th (Wednesday).
