Police say it is because of Ramadan with most people preferring to start travelling after breaking fast.

For Muslims during Ramadan, this includes stopovers to break their fast, says the senior minister.

Permission from the authorities must be obtained beforehand, they add.

Police say some 13,000 vehicles are estimated to be travelling interstate today.

Plus expects over 300,000 vehicles, based on applications made to Gerak Malaysia, to be on the road from today until Sunday.

Bukit Aman says the decision to ban the use of these two modes of transportation had been decided earlier.

Travellers will need to show QR code from Gerak Malaysia app on their smartphones to police manning roadblocks between states.
