KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 19 — The police have closed and diverted several routes near Istana Negara beginning 7pm tonight until further notice, says Brickfields District police chief ACP 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 (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
