In the statement, Anih Berhad also appreciates the patience of KLK highway users and also the obedience of Muslims to perform prayers while traveling. However, people are asked to not perform prayer on the emergency lane due to safety factors.

Furthermore, one of the netizens shared that it is also prohibited in Islam to do prayer at highway because it is a place of human traffic and the hustle and bustle also will not make you focus.

Instead, Highway users can plan their trip and place to pray or stop for a break at rest and service area along LPT1 and LKL when going back to Klang Valley. This is a way to be prepared for traffic jams in the future.
