Earlier, the Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) of the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) will be closing and redirecting roads for President Xi Jinping’s visit to Malaysia from April 15 to 17, 2025.
17 routes will be impacted by these closures and diversions, which will last about 30 to 45 minutes while the delegation moves through certain areas. The roads will reopen once the delegation has passed.
