PUTRAJAYA: As the designated seats for spectators are filled, many Malaysians are also seen sitting along the Dataran Putrajaya here, eagerly awaiting the National Day Celebration 2024.

Checks on the site show that many are camping from as early as 12am to take the best spots to witness the parade despite the once-a-year show only starting at 8am.
