KL Roads Closed for Thaipusam Parade

The police will shut 12 key intersections around Kuala Lumpur starting tomorrow as part of the Thaipusam procession to Batu Caves. Diversions will be implemented in stages, affecting major routes such as Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Sultan Ismail and the KLCC area.
Motorists are urged to follow the posted signs, use alternative routes and allow extra travel time. Public transport services will run as usual, and organisers promise a smooth, orderly march.

If you commute through the city centre tomorrow, expect delays and plan a different path. Even occasional shoppers or tourists heading to the caves should check the new routes to avoid getting stuck.

The closures will ripple through daily traffic, lengthening journeys and testing Kuala Lumpur’s congestion management. Efficient diversions help keep the city moving while allowing thousands to partake in the cultural procession safely.
