No private programmes on eve of Merdeka day
PUTRAJAYA: There will be no private sector-initiated programmes and activities on the eve of the 50th Merdeka celebration as “all eyes, ears, spirit and soul” should be on a major event that will be organised by the Government.
Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said since this year’s celebration was important and significant, the public should attend events organised by the Government so they could feel “the spirit of Merdeka in every sense of the word”.
“We have a special event in store and we want Malaysians from all walks of life to participate. We do not want any deviation of attention from the main celebration because apart from the traditional countdown, we will have a ceremony depicting the eve of Merdeka 50 years ago, including the lowering of the Union Jack.
As the result,
國慶倒數喊CUT！私人界大感失望
National Day countdown chanting CUT! The private sector was greatly disappointed首邦市高峰廣場 倒數活動暫擱
Summit Square countdown is dormant首邦市高峰廣場公關表示，原本該廣場已打算籌備國慶倒數活動，但目前已暫時擱置。
她表示，國慶倒數活動應該是普天同慶的，政府理應與私人界配合，而非禁止。“尤其每年各個地點主辦的倒數活動都已經讓許多熱門地點擠得水泄不通，難道獨立廣場能容納得下所有人？” 她說， 目前唯有暫時靜觀其變，視政府有進一步的宣布再做打算。

KLCC cancelled the countdown celebration國油雙峰塔公關利祖安表示，他們已取消原本欲在陽光廣場舉行的國慶倒數活動。
“本來倒數活動已在籌備中，我們也相信許多人期待陽光廣場與往年一樣會有一些精彩的倒數活動。” 他說，但是既然文化藝朮及文物部已作出相關宣佈，那麼該公司也尊重政府的決定。
Next time, don’t blame private sector don’t want to take part in the celebration activities. Here is a bad example to all.
Let’s bet, the Minister will says “the press misunderstand my statement and had it reported wrongly”; just like the press barred from public crime hearing yesterday due to some parties felt uncomfortable.
I believe they assuming the press may misunderstand words during the hearing. So many eyes and ears to misunderstand the meaning of words?
What a brilliant excuse!
Media barred from crime hearing
The media were tonight barred from covering the public hearing on crime held by the Parliamentary Human Rights Caucus in Petaling Jaya’s Civic Hall.

“The meeting has to be closed-door so that some parties will not be uncomfortable due to media reports,” Nazri told the public hearing.
The ban on media also affects a public hearing slated to be held in Penang this Sunday.
The first hearing was held in Johor last Sunday where the media was allowed to cover.
It was reported to be a heated meeting.
Some 500 frustrated Johor residents lambasted the government for not taking any serious actions in combatting the rising crime levels there.
