ASEAN Summit Traffic Chaos: Fact-Check Reveals Truth Behind Viral Claims

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – May 25, 2025: A recent viral social media post claimed Putrajaya mishandled road closures during the ASEAN summit, causing significant inconvenience to road users. Berita RTM's TikTok video directly addresses these claims. The video shows substantial traffic jams, contradicting Putrajaya's assertion of efficient management. "Jalan-jalan ditutup menyebabkan pengguna jalan raya terkandas dalam *kesesakan* berjam-jam lamanya," states a screenshot of a social media post, highlighting the public's frustration. However, the video also presents official statements and mitigation plans implemented by the government. The contrast between public perception and official responses makes this a compelling story. The video concludes with a public service announcement, encouraging responsible information sharing and reporting misinformation to the MCMC. This event underscores the importance of transparent communication during large-scale events.
