  "summary": "The Klang Valley experienced heavy traffic as city dwellers returned home following the Deepavali holiday, according to a report from the New Straits Times. Several major highways, including the North-South Expressway and the southern route, were reported to be congested due to the long weekend. The Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA) advised motorists to drive cautiously, as heavy rain in various locations was further contributing to the slow traffic flow.
