Haze forces venue change for PM’s National Day address
The committee in charge of the celebration says this is to ensure the safety, health and comfort of guests and the public.
The National Day parade's location will change due to the current haze situation, according to the Malaysian government. The Prime Minister's address, scheduled for this Sunday during the National Day celebration, will now take place at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) instead of Dataran Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur.
The decision was made with the safety, health, and comfort of attendees in mind. The move is a responsible action to ensure the event can be held in a controlled and more comfortable environment. The government will continue to monitor the haze situation and air quality, with decisions about the National Day parade made based on assessments from the health ministry, environment department, and meteorological department.
