MBSJ’s corporate and strategic management department said in a statement, “Our programme allows city folk to enjoy leisurely and healthy activities with family and friends.”

She had asked MBSJ to allow residents easy access to their homes instead of completely blocking off roads.

This was in response to the July edition of the car-free day event which overlapped with a marathon in Bandar Sunway, resulting in many roads being closed off and SS16 residents being unable to return home.
