2026 National Day celebrations at Dataran Putrajaya to proceed as planned

The 2026 National Day celebrations at Dataran Putrajaya on August 31 will proceed as planned, according to Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil. This decision was made during a special meeting with several agencies, taking into account the current haze situation at the venue. The authorities will continue to monitor the haze and explore options such as cloud seeding, contingent on suitable cloud conditions, as advised by the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia).

Fahmi anticipates over 80,000 visitors due to school holidays and organized transport facilities, including Prasarana Malaysia Bhd's 24-hour MRT services, additional bus connections from MRT stations, and water taxis.
