Haze: Queen instructs Johor Family Day Carnival to be postponed
JOHOR BAHRU: Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah, Queen of Malaysia, today instructed that the Johor Family Day Carnival, scheduled for Sept 16, be postponed to a suitable date following the haze situation in the state.
Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah, the Queen of Malaysia, has directed that the Johor Family Day Carnival, originally scheduled for September 16, be postponed due to the haze situation in the state. Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar announced the decision on his Facebook page, urging the postponement until air quality improves. The Queen emphasized the importance of taking precautions, especially for senior citizens, children, and those with respiratory issues.
Despite her wish to provide a space for memorable experiences in conjunction with Malaysia Day, she could not risk public health. The carnival, organized by the state government and Yayasan Raja Zarith Sofiah Negeri Johor, aims to bring families and children together. Several districts in Johor reported unhealthy Air Pollutant Index readings, with Pasir Gudang having the highest at 162, followed by Larkin at 159.
