Selangor: The Selangor state-level MADANI Aidilfitri Open House 2025, scheduled to be held tomorrow, has been cancelled following a directive from the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, the decision was announced in a statement posted on the Selangor Royal Office's official Facebook page. Istana Alam Shah conveyed Sultan Sharafuddin's deep concern and sympathy for the victims affected by the recent gas pipeline fire in Putra Heights, Subang Jaya.
The statement highlighted that His Royal Highness' decision had been communicated to the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who expressed full support for the cancellation. The Sultan has decreed that all preparations made for the event, particularly food, be redirected to evacuees at temporary relief centres, safety personnel, firefighters, volunteers, non-governmental organisations, as well as nearby orphanages and schools.
His Royal Highness further suggested that the food be served as festive meals at the relief centres to provide some joy and comfort to both victims and workers during the Aidilfitri celebration. The palace added that the Sultan offers prayers for the well-being of all those involved and hopes the victims remain strong in facing this difficult time.
Earlier, Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari also announced the cancellation of the event in a Facebook post, as a mark of respect for those affected by Tuesday's incident.
