SPOILT MERDEKA NIGHT!


I went to KLCC last night, with my husband, baby Aisya and my maid..We went to celebrate The 50Th MERDEKA DAY! I arrived at KLCC at about 8.45pm..I was very excited and can't wait to see the beautifull fireworks just like the past years.While waiting for 12midnight, we went shopping in ISETAN, my husband bought a coat together with the pants and i bought Aisya a pair of new shoes..And as we finished, we walked heading to the garden, i saw plenty of people out there, but i was quite curious and wondering how come we could easily reach KLCC and could easily find a parking lot too.In my mind, i thought that may be those people would not want to be stucked in the traffic jem that's why they don't want to park their cars down there..Nevermind..but then, as we reached the exit to the garden, one man came close to us and say, "you can't go out there sir, and there's no event here at all tonight!".." The government did not allow KLCC to hold up any events, because they want all the events to be held in Stadium Merdeka and Dataran Merdeka." What the xxxx???! I was really upset since i really want to see the 'bunga api'..We went home..we did stuck in the traffic jam on the way home,.and when 00.00 came..everybody honk! WE vdid too..There comes MERDEKA!.. but i couldn't see any fireworks from the place we were queeing in the traffic jam..(in front of SOGO)
The thing is,i dont understand why they don't allow everypart of Malaysia to put up events and celebrate MERDEKA crazily! Why must restrict to that 2 places only! this is the biggest merdeka day ever, so why not make it really big!i just dont understand..at least give them guidelines rather than not allowing at all..not only me, a lot more people who went to KLCC last night are frustrated.

agree!!!
Really dissapointed since I was waiting for the fireworks from KLCC from my housing area.
i don't want to do all the hassle driving all the way to Putrajaya (went there alredi for the Firework Competition which last for 20 minutes and end up of 3 hours stucked in traffic jammed)
bet watching it in the TV was a good idea after all huhuhu
