Five main roads in the Kajang area will undergo phased closures beginning this Wednesday to facilitate rehearsals for Merdeka Eve festivities, authorities confirmed on Monday.
The staged closures will affect traffic flow in the vicinity as organisers conduct final preparations for the national celebration. Commuters and residents in the affected areas have been advised to plan alternative routes during the rehearsal period.
The Royal Malaysia Police have coordinated with relevant agencies to manage traffic diversions and ensure minimal disruption to the public. Motorists are urged to remain patient and follow traffic directions put in place by enforcement personnel during the closure period.
Full road closures will be implemented once rehearsals progress to later stages. Authorities have advised the public to stay updated on closure schedules through official announcements to avoid inconvenience.
The preparations form part of Malaysia's broader national day commemoration activities scheduled for August 31.
