Tents remain in place, stage comes down nightly, Seremban mayor clears Deepavali carnival confusion

The Seremban City Council clarified that for the 2026 Deepavali Carnival at Jalan Dato' Lee Fong Yee, only the main stage must be dismantled after daily operations, while traders' tents may remain set up throughout the event.

This correction aims to resolve any confusion following earlier statements.

Organisers and traders are urged to adhere to conditions set by the council to ensure a smooth, clean, and orderly carnival.

The event will run from October 29 to November 7, featuring various activities and sales.

SEREMBAN, Oct 12 — Only the main stage for the 2026 Deepavali Carnival on Jalan Dato’ Lee Fong Yee here needs to be dismantled or removed after daily operations conclude, whereas traders’ tents are permitted to remain set up throughout the event’s duration.

Seremban City Council (MBS) mayor Datuk Ir Masri Baharuddin said the clarification was issued to correct an earlier statement regarding the requirements for handling tents after daily business hours.

He said that traders’ tents approved by MBS do not need to be dismantled and removed daily instead, only the main stage must be dismantled or removed in accordance with the terms and conditions set by the local authority.

“MBS wishes to correct and clarify this information to avoid confusion among traders, organisers, and the public.

“Please be informed that traders’ tents approved by MBS may remain set up at the site throughout the carnival period and do not need to be dismantled or removed daily.”

“However, the main stage must be dismantled or removed after operations conclude, in accordance with the conditions stipulated by MBS,” he said in a statement here today.

Masri expressed hope that this clarification would provide an accurate picture of the actual requirements regarding the management of traders’ tents and the main stage throughout the carnival’s duration.

Yesterday, the media reported that MBS had asked the Deepavali Carnival organisers to ensure all tents were dismantled and removed from the site after operations ended at midnight each day, before being re-erected the following day.

Meanwhile, Masri said the organisers and all participating traders must ensure that business activities comply with the approval conditions, directives, guidelines, and regulations set by MBS and relevant agencies.

He added that the organisers and traders are also responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and tidiness of the carnival site including the proper management of food waste, trash, and refuse throughout the operating period for the mutual comfort of all.

Masri noted that these measures aim to ensure the carnival runs smoothly and in an orderly manner without compromising public interests or comfort, while prioritising safety, cleanliness, and site management.

MBS also urges all parties involved to extend their full cooperation and adhere to the established conditions and guidelines to ensure the carnival takes place in a safe, clean, orderly, and harmonious atmosphere.

芙蓉市议会澄清，2026 年在 Jalan Dato' Lee Fong Yee 举行的屠妖节嘉年华，只有主舞台在每日活动结束后必须拆除，而商贩的帐篷可以在整个活动期间保留。

本次更正旨在消除此前声明可能造成的任何误解。

为确保嘉年华顺利、干净、有序地举行，主办方和商贩应遵守市政委员会制定的各项规定。

本次活动将于10月29日至11月7日举行，期间将举办各种活动和促销活动。

芙蓉，10月12日讯——2026年屠妖节嘉年华在芙蓉拿督李芳义路的主舞台在每日活动结束后只需拆除或移除，而商贩的帐篷则可以在整个活动期间保留。

芙蓉市议会市长拿督伊尔·马斯里·巴哈鲁丁表示，发布此澄清是为了纠正之前关于每日营业时间结束后处理帐篷的要求的声明。

他表示，经滨海湾金沙批准的商贩帐篷无需每日拆除，只需按照地方当局规定的条款和条件拆除或移除主舞台即可。

“MBS希望更正和澄清此信息，以避免交易员、组织者和公众产生混淆。

“请注意，经滨海湾金沙批准的商贩帐篷可以在整个嘉年华期间留在现场，无需每天拆除或搬走。”

“但是，根据穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼王储规定的条件，主舞台必须在演出结束后拆除或移除。”他今天在此发表的一份声明中说。

马斯里表示希望这一澄清能够准确反映狂欢节期间商贩帐篷和主舞台管理方面的实际要求。

昨天，媒体报道称，MBS要求屠妖节嘉年华组织者确保每天午夜活动结束后，所有帐篷都被拆除并从现场移走，然后在第二天重新搭建。

与此同时，马斯里表示，组织者和所有参与的商户必须确保商业活动符合MBS和相关机构制定的批准条件、指令、指南和规定。

他还补充说，组织者和商贩也有责任在整个运营期间保持嘉年华场地的清洁和整洁，包括妥善管理食物垃圾、杂物和废弃物，以保证所有人的舒适。

马斯里指出，这些措施旨在确保狂欢节顺利有序地进行，同时不损害公众利益或舒适度，并将安全、清洁和场地管理放在首位。

MBS 还敦促所有相关方给予充分合作，并遵守既定条件和准则，以确保嘉年华在安全、清洁、有序和和谐的氛围中举行。
