Jerebu: Majlis Amanat Perdana Hari Kebangsaan pindah ke PICC

The Malaysian National Council of Elders' 2026 meeting scheduled for Sunday will shift from Merdeka Square in Kuala Lumpur to the International Convention Centre Putrajaya (PICC), due to current adverse weather conditions, according to the National Council for the Celebration of Malaysia Day and Malaysia Day 2026 (HKHM) 2026 secretariat.

The decision, announced today by the HKHM 2026 secretariat, aims to ensure the safety, health and comfort of attendees while guaranteeing the smooth execution of the event, reported Bernama. The relocation does not diminish the enthusiasm and spirit of the National Day 2026 celebration, but rather represents a responsible step to ensure the event can take place in a better controlled and comfortable environment.

The government will continue to monitor weather and air quality developments as they arise, according to the statement. For the national day celebrations, the decision on organizing parades and events will be determined based on the current weather assessment and advice from the Health Ministry, the Department of Environment, and the Malaysian Meteorological Department.

The public is advised to remain vigilant of changing weather conditions and seek health guidance through KKM's official channels.
