How Klang Valley’s Worsening Traffic Is Affecting Productivity

While Klang Valley folk are no strangers to horrible traffic congestion during peak hours, it seems as though the traffic situation is now worse than pre-pandemic times! Numerous articles, viral tweets, complaints, and studies have been done over the last couple of months to determine why roads in KL and parts of Selangor are perpetually jammed, with no real solution in sight.

Obviously, this has an effect on one’s productivity and mental health. We speak to a psychologist to understand its impact.
