KUALA LUMPUR: Several schools located near the venue of the Asean Summit 2025 should be granted an occasional holiday to ensure the smooth running of the regional event, as well as to ensure the safety and comfort of all parties involved.

The National Parents and Teachers Association Council (PIBGN) president, associate professor Datuk Dr Mohamad Ali Hasan, stated that granting this occasional holiday was not only practical for traffic and logistics management, but also provides relief to parents and teachers who do not have to face traffic congestion.
