BATU KAWAN (Jan 22): Jambatan Kedua Sdn Bhd (JKSB), the concessionaire for the Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah Bridge (JSAHMS), is offering a 10 percent discount on toll for motorists using the bridge during Chinese New Year.

JKSB chief executive officer Faisal Shahbudin said the discount rate, from midnight on Friday until 11.59pm on Saturday, will be given as part of the company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative and appreciation to consumers, especially users of the second Penang bridge.

“We anticipate an increase in traffic volume in this area as JSAHMS is a strategic bridge as it links the mainland to the island ," he told reporters when met at a road safety advocacy campaign at the JSAHMS Toll Plaza here today.

The campaign is organised by the Penang Road Safety Department (JKJR) with the collaboration of JKSB in conjunction with the Chinese New Year (CNY) celebration.

Also present was Penang JKJR director M. Thurkah Thevi.
