The KL Car Free Morning (KLCFM) working committee has announced that there will be no KLCFM on October 26, which is this Sunday. The weekly Sunday morning open circuit around the city has been cancelled due to ‘extensive road closures in Kuala Lumpur in conjunction with the ASEAN Summit 2025’.
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.
Fans of the KLCFM – where 5/7km of city centre roads are blocked off to traffic to allow cyclists, runners and skaters full freedom on Sunday mornings – will have to wait for further announcement for the next event.
