KUALA LUMPUR (BERNAMA) – People in Malaysia will have the chance to bid farewell to Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah in conjunction with the sending-off ceremony for the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong on Wednesday (January 31).
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Allaudeen Abdul Majid said the event would be held along Jalan Parlimen up to Dato Onn Roundabout.
He said the public could park their vehicles at the Perdana Botanical Garden, Padang Merbok, Dataran Merdeka and the multi-storey parking lot at Bukit Aman.
“Jalan Parlimen up to Dato Onn Roundabout will be completely closed as early as 6am for the movement of the farewell team consisting of 3,650 personnel from various ministries.
“The public who want to participate in the event need to obey traffic control instructions from the police and not block the route,” he told a press conference at the Kuala Lumpur Police Contingent headquarters on Monday.
Allaudeen said seven roads in the federal capital would be fully closed and 13 roads would be closed in stages.
Al-Sultan Abdullah will end his five-year reign as the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong and will be replaced by the Sultan of Johor Sultan Ibrahim Almarhum Sultan Iskandar.
