KUALA LUMPUR: Police have closed and diverted several routes near Istana Negara beginning 7pm Saturday (Nov 19) until further notice, says Brickfields OCPD Asst Comm Amihizam Abdul Shukor.
He said there would be a road diversion on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim (Jalan Duta) from Kuala Lumpur leading out of the capital (the Duta toll plaza) as well as road closures from the city centre towards Istana Negara, from Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim to Jalan Semantan, Jalan Semantan to Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim and the entrance from Jalan Semantan to Jalan Changkat Semantan
