This was to ensure that users will not be affected with the actual global price. "The government will continue to monitor the impact of crude oil price fluctuations and take appropriate measures to safeguard the well-being of the people," said the Ministry of Finance.

"Companies following legal weight limits have maintained stable rates, while those that previously relied on overloading now charge fairly per tonne, keeping trip costs the same," the federation said.“Trucks are turning around faster, scheduling is easier, and cargo planning is more efficient“We’re seeing a clear shift toward a more professional and sustainable trucking industry,” it added.During the first two weeks of enforcement, <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/10/government-to-hold-senders-receivers-accountable-for-overloaded-lorries" target="_blank">some adjustment was needed, but as operators and customers adapted to the new rules, overall operations have stabilized. </a>

Transport capacity remains sufficient to meet demand, dispelling concerns that stricter limits would slow down deliveries.Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook emphasized that the crackdown is essential to protect road users and will continue regardless of complaints from sectors like oil milling or construction, which had raised concerns over increased operational costs. MTF stressed that companies still overloading their vehicles should transition immediately to lawful operations to ensure safety and compliance.

The federation believes this approach will prevent long-term risks, from vehicles breaking down mid-route to accidents caused by unsafe loads. "It’s also expected to improve public perception of the transport sector, reduce post-operation maintenance costs, and set a new benchmark for professionalism," it concluded.

Strict enforcement against overloaded trucks is paying off, improving road safety and transport efficiency without hiking rates.

Prof Dr Muhammad Zaly Shah, president of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport Malaysia, told The Star that the<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/11/gemas-jb-rail-project-set-to-start-full-service-this-month" target="_blank" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> success of the ETS depends heavily on the first-mile experience and how easy it is for commuters to reach the stations. </a> <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/mediatemp/1/16541899/conversions/Mercedes-S-Class-Level-4-Self-Driving-Robotaxis-Debut-In-Abu-Dhabi-Mercedes-Benz-launches-Level-4-self-driving-S-Class-robotaxis-in-Abu-Dhabi-partnering-with-Chinese-software-firm-Momenta-(7)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16541899" alt="Mercedes-S-Class-Level-4-Self-Driving-Robotaxis-Debut-In-Abu-Dhabi-Mercedes-Benz-launches-Level-4-self-driving-S-Class-robotaxis-in-Abu-Dhabi-partnering-with-Chinese-software-firm-Momenta-(7).png"> 

“If getting to the station is difficult or slow, people will just drive instead,” he said.Immediate steps should include upgrading pedestrian walkways and lighting, installing clear signage, and aligning feeder bus schedules with train departures and arrivals. “If buses are reliable and frequent, commuters will see them as a real alternative to driving, reducing the need for parking,” Zaly Shah added.

<img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/20831/16541974/download-(61).jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16541974" alt="download-(61).jpg"> 

He also suggested dedicated station shuttles, better traffic management during peak hours, and <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2023/11/loke-announced-new-northern-ktmbs-commuter-trains-ets-for-gemas-jb-line" target="_blank" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;">targeted road improvements around Kempas Baru and the city center to ease bottlenecks without massive infrastructure projects.</a>Park-and-ride options were highlighted as a practical solution. “Kempas Baru has more available land for parking, while JB Sentral would benefit from satellite parking outside the congested core. High-frequency shuttles from these lots would reduce the number of cars entering the city,” he explained.

Looking at the bigger picture, Zaly Shah emphasized that the ETS should be the backbone of Johor’s future mobility network. Other transport initiatives, like micro-mobility lanes, pedestrian upgrades, and proposed E-ART projects, should connect seamlessly to the stations. "Transit-oriented development around Kempas could transform the area into a walkable, mixed-use district, reducing dependence on cars and preventing additional congestion

“The key is integration. If we align long-term transport and urban planning with the ETS, the train can actually relieve pressure on Johor’s roads rather than add to it,” he concluded.

Experts urge improved first-mile access, feeder buses, and park-and-ride options for the Gemas- JB ETS.

“In modern rail systems, postponing safety is normal. What’s unusual is opening a system that isn’t fully stable,” Wan Agyl added.Samirul Ariff Othman, senior consultant at Global Asia Consulting, said extending the testing period is a principled decision, not an unnecessary delay.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> “It prioritises system reliability and passenger safety.

He added that the social impact of such works would also outweigh the benefits.Traffic figures from 2024 show the FT2 operating at Level of Service F at Census Station BR101, reflecting extremely heavy traffic conditions. This puts it in the same category as parts of the Middle Ring Road 2 (FT28), which is facing similar congestion levels. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/20817/16535920/conversions/Federal-Highway-(1)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16535920" alt="Federal-Highway-(1).jpg"> Nanta was responding to Senator Tiew Way Keng’s question on the <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2023/04/kkr-inks-agreement-with-federal-land-commisioner-13-sites-supervised-by-ptp-on-highway-areas" target="_blank">progress of highway and federal road</a> improvements across Selangor.Rather than expanding FT2, the government is looking at other ways to manage traffic demand, including the possibility of a new highway. Greater reliance on public transport is also expected once the LRT3 line between Shah Alam and Kuala Lumpur begins service on Dec 31.For the 37.58 KM FT28 MRR2 corridor from Kepong to Sri Petaling, Nanta said congestion relief has been addressed through the Sungai Besi–Ulu Kelang Expressway (SUKE). Upgrading MRR2 itself is no longer seen as viable for the same cost and social reasons. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/20817/16535923/conversions/Federal-Highway-(1)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16535923" alt="Federal-Highway-(1).jpeg"> He noted that FT5 Jalan Klang–Sabak Bernam is currently operating well within capacity, with 2024 data showing a Level of Service A at Census Station BR104, meaning no upgrade is required for now.Nanta also pointed to the <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/12/wce-six-new-toll-plazas-planned-along-melakas-69-km-stretch" target="_blank">West Coast Expressway</a>, due for full completion in 2026, as a potential alternative route that could help divert traffic away from FT5.He reiterated that any new road or upgrade proposal must originate from the state government and be channelled through the State Economic Planning Unit (UPEN) and relevant technical agencies, before the ministry can consider it, subject to available funding.
