Football fever meets rock mania: Over 100,000 fans set to jam Bukit Jalil, literally

KUALA LUMPUR, April 25 — If you plan to head out into the Klang Valley urban jungle tomorrow, brace for major traffic snarls as Bukit Jalil plays host to two major events expected to draw over 100,000 people.

Football fans will flock to the Bukit Jalil National Stadium for the Malaysia Cup Final, which kicks off at 9pm, while legendary rock icon Datuk Amy Search will take the stage at the nearby Axiata Arena at 8.30pm.

With more than 60 per cent of football tickets sold and high demand for Amy of legendary Malaysian rock band Search’s concert, traffic congestion is expected to begin as early as 5pm and persist well into the night.

Use public transport, avoid the bumper-to-bumper traffic

Authorities are urging the public to opt for public transport to avoid being caught in the gridlock. The LRT Sri Petaling Line provides direct access to Bukit Jalil LRT Station, located just a short walk from both venues.

In support of the events, Rapid KL will extend operating hours at Bukit Jalil LRT Station.
