SHAH ALAM - Traffic congestion in the Klang Valley which is currently getting worse, has adversely affected individuals who have to face the traffic on a daily basis.
Having to wait for almost three hours to reach a destination could lead to mental and emotional stress.
Private sector worker Muhd Azizi Zulhilmi Jumaat, 24, said being stuck in a traffic jam for too long could cause a person's health to decline.
“For me, the distance from my house in Cheras to the office in Petaling Jaya is only 16 kilometres, but it took me almost two hours to reach the office and I have to spend another two hours on the road to get back home.
“The congestion that usually occurs on the Federal Highway is due to the construction which has yet to be completed, so from four lanes, only three lanes could be used as one of them was closed.
"This would affect people's health. Not only are people tired after working, but they also have to face traffic jams on their way home. It really hurts.
"This could be a source of stress," he told Sinar Harian.
