Putting aside the haze situation at Dataran Putrajaya, the 2026 National Day and Malaysia Day (HKHM) celebrations are set to go ahead as originally scheduled, according to Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil. The decision to proceed with the event on August 31 was made during a meeting with several agencies, considering the current haze at the venue.
Fahmi, during a press conference following a full dress rehearsal of the celebrations, stated that authorities will continue to monitor the haze situation and explore cloud seeding as a potential solution. However, this will depend on the availability of suitable clouds for seeding, as assessed by Nadma. Over 80,000 visitors are anticipated for the event, with Prasarana Malaysia Bhd providing round-the-clock MRT services to facilitate attendees.
In addition, buses, water taxis, and other transport options will be available, contributing to the event's success.
