Queen instructs Johor family day carnival to be put off due to haze
Raja Zarith Sofiah says the carnival will be held when the air quality improves.
Queen Raja Zarith Sofiah has decided to postpone the Johor Family Day Carnival, originally scheduled for September 16, due to the worsening haze situation in the state. In a Facebook post, she emphasized her concern for public health, particularly for senior citizens, children, and those with respiratory issues. Despite her desire to create joyful memories, the queen stated that no risks could be taken with the health of the people.
The carnival, organized by the state government and Yayasan Raja Zarith Sofiah Negeri Johor, aims to provide families and children with a fun-filled day in celebration of Malaysia Day. However, due to the poor air quality in several Johor districts, the queen has postponed the event until air quality improves to a safe level.
