The 47th ASEAN Summit that Kuala Lumpur will be hosting this week is set to be the largest meet of its kind organised by the regional block. Aside from leaders of ASEAN countries, world leaders headlined by US president Donald Trump will descend on KL for this edition.
Trump will be joined by Canadian PM Mark Carney, Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, South African president Cyril Ramaphosa, Cyprus president Nikos Christodoulides and Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo. Brazil and South Africa will become Sectoral Dialogue Partners to ASEAN while the two European countries are set to become ASEAN dialogue partners.
With KL city centre ‘on total lockdown’, as foreign minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan put it, plenty of roads closed and PDRM out in full force for security and traffic control, expect major congestion.
Now, the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) is allowing higher education institutions around the Klang Valley the option to conduct classes online during throughout the ASEAN Summit period. The ministry has asked higher education institutions – especially those located in KL, Selangor and Putrajaya – to look at the locations, time and dates of road closures for the summit.
MoHE says that the move is to ensure students are not affected by the road closures. “This facility is given to ensure the convenience of higher education institution members and it allows them to plan their journeys, and ensure that the learning process goes smoothly,” MoHE said in a statement, reported by Astro Awani.
Earlier, the Public Service Department (JPA) announced that it will allow civil servants to work from home over the ASEAN Summit period to reduce traffic congestion. Also, around 70 schools will shift to online classes for the same reason.

Can anyone enlightened us why does Civil Servants get to work from home since it is KL being lockdown and not Putrajaya while very few believe would be staying in KL to work in Putrajaya.
not all civil servants la. obviously it would be only those who work in that KL area vicinity for example pudu UTC.
JPA says that civil servants who live within 25 km of their workplace are allowed to WFH from October 23-28
This seems generous?
it could be the other way around, stay in putrajaya work in KL
why not utilize Putrajaya after spending billions to build?
sebab putrajaya to projek gagal wkwkwk
Please enlighten how is it gagal when it is jam packed with non-putrajayans every weekend?
you answered the question yourself, visitors from outside putrajaya, they only visit they dont want to reside there.
How can the outsiders reside there when the home built there are all occupied? Idiot. You probably love to bash putrajaya when little in your heart you are envious af
Because he is embarassed to use the venue built by his nemesis. Maybe in future it will be at Kota Madani (that also if he is still PM) lol….
