The Sun daily quoted Federal Territories Deputy Minister Loga Bala Mohan saying that the ministry was looking at all possibilities to ensure the event could be conducted “properly and successfully.”
The ministry is currently in the midst of gathering input and feedback from the public on the event, to prevent any mishaps or damage to infrastructure.
“The road closures will be in the Federal Territories–Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan – but the time and location will be determined based on the findings by the (respective) councils (under the ministry),” he was quoted as saying.
Back in February of this year, Federal Territories Minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor proposed that city roads be closed to allow legal racing to take place in a bid to curb illegal betting.
Many quarters however have slammed the very idea of racing along city streets.
