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.

Must drive? Consider these alternative routes

For those who still prefer to drive, these alternative routes may help bypass the worst traffic:

From Klang or Subang: Use the Shah Alam Expressway (KESAS) towards Sri Petaling.
From Cheras or Ampang: Opt for the Sungai Besi-Ulu Klang Elevated Expressway (SUKE).
From the city centre: Take the SMART Tunnel for a direct route from Jalan Tun Razak to Jalan Sungai Besi.
Surviving the madness

To ensure a smooth experience, attendees are advised to:

Arrive early: Target at least 60 minutes before the event.
Keep belongings secure: Be vigilant against pickpockets in crowded areas.
Follow authorities’ instructions: Stay alert to announcements from the police (PDRM), the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), and other authorities.
Stay comfortable: Bring water, wear light clothing, and follow safety protocols. Seek help immediately if feeling unwell.
Stay informed: Follow RapidKL, PDRM, and DBKL on social media for the latest updates.
With careful planning and a bit of patience, you can enjoy a memorable night, whether you’re cheering in the stadium or rocking out at the arena.

With or without influence of drugs/booze..... incoming football hooliganism.

oh fuck
this weekend better sit at home

60% only? That's much lower than I expected.

60% already quite high, nowadays i dont think many interest in Malaysia Cup Finalie

said it many times....we need a dedicated place for concert or music event elsewhere that has ample parking and public transport

u don't put everything in that 1 place....this is just 2 event, if not wrong...this place can hold 3 event at once at night

these kind of mass activities of lesser IQ should be conducted far from civilization

incoming samseng activity, park mana2 aku suka,

We are not a "music event" friendly country due to many stringent rules driving performers/organisers away.

So such dedicated premise might not last long before turning into white elephant/making losses hoping for sponsors to sustain.

and yet our bukit jalil stadium held more of those than actual football match

later grass got damaged, kena marah pula
vellfires all double parked outside, also kena marah

Why that puak no bising?

i would forseen that will many event would happens, balai polis need to que.

Bukit Jalil Stadium would be underutilized if it doesn't host concerts and other events.

Kecian PDRM coz no PAS members there for preventive measures asking spectators to behave and think of God.

Maybe they're scared shit of the impending fistfights and got hurt end up not able to perform on bed.


better dakwah and cuci mata while passing flyers to concert goers in mini skirts and top.

Well, a typical parking / public transport system usually wont be able to cater smoothly for tens of thousands humans at a single location that decided to mobilize /exit the place at the same time. So those involved definitely must manage their expectations when it comes to the delay.

Please avoid Putra Heights also

Park your car in Puchong Jaya or any Puchong LRT station

Terima Kaseh

Manchester United come here for friendly next month even bigger crowd

they need to build multi setory car park in the open area and link it directly with MEX highway

Make the entrance /exit same level with the highway
