Selangor Ruler and consort grace Shah Alam's Car-Free and Earth Day celebrations

SHAH ALAM: Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah and his consort Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin Abdul Rahman today graced the Shah Alam City Council's (MBSA) Car-Free Day and Earth Day celebration at Dataran Kemerdekaan Shah Alam in Seksyen 14.
The royal couple were accompanied by Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali and Shah Alam mayor Datuk Ahmad Zaharin Mohd Saad.
Sultan Sharafuddin and Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin then launched an electric car and an electric bus, which will replace a diesel-powered bus to provide free public transport service in the state's capital.
Following the launch, the couple along with state leaders also visited the 60 participating stalls in the Eco Free Market, where used items still in good condition were being given away.

Earlier, Azmin had flagged off a running and cycling event to promote recycling before joining other state leaders in a 5km walk.
As part of the Car-Free Day, people were seen riding bicycles and skating on their roller blades, skateboards, scooter blades and hover boards, while others enjoyed walking or running on the closed roads.
