We all can feel the excitement brimming in the very air of Kuala Lumpur as the fans wait for an unforgettable evening with the British Rock band, Coldplay.
A night filled with electrifying music and unforgettable memories can become ‘un-electrifying’ real quick.
Fahmi announces ‘Kill Switch’ for Tonight’s Concert
Just today (22 Nov), Communication and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil has confirmed that the organisers of the Coldplay concert tonight have agreed to apply ‘Kill Switch’ to the event.
According to Malay Mail, despite the protestations against the happening of the concert, Fahmi emphasised that he doesn’t see any problems in letting the British Rock band perform considering their consistent support of the Palestinian cause.
He also noted that the prime minister, Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, has highlighted the band’s continuous support towards the Palestinian cause; which has also left them feeling excited for the concert tonight.
“If there’s one thing I would advise to all who are going, please try to use public transport. God willing, public transport will be available until very late,” he said to reporters at the Digital Transformation Leader’s CxO Summit.
Good Vibes Cancelled
Just recently, the Good Vibes Music Festival celebrated their 10th anniversary, which was cut short as the performing band pulled an improper stunt in front of thousands of audience members.
To avoid such controversy in the upcoming festivals or concerts, the Communications and Digital Ministry asked the organisers of foreign artists’ concerts to create a ‘kill switch’.
‘Kill Switch’ is basically to stop the concert by cutting the power supply so that the event could not go on, as explained by the Deputy Minister Deputy Minister Teo Nie Ching.
Nearly 75,000 people will be in attendance of this concert and police will be conducting full body and bag checks to ensure the safety and peace of the concert-goers.
Have fun and don’t forget to stay safe!
