KUALA LUMPUR, April 27 — Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma)'s Youth wing has backed the authorities’ decision to withdraw support for Thirst 2015, claiming the event encourages the consumption of alcohol that it dubbed the "mother of all evil".
The Serdang police's withdrawal of support for the “Thirst: We are all Stardust” 2015 concert that was scheduled to be held at the Mines International Exhibition and Convention Centre last Saturday had resulted in the cancellation of the event.
"Alcohol is the mother of all evil and will bring about bad effects to religion as well as the physical and mental health (of people)," Isma Youth chief Muhammad Lukman Al Hakim Muhammad was quoted saying in an article posted on the Muslim right-wing group's website.
"The concert would have only encouraged behaviour that not only goes against religion but can affect Malaysia's morality as a Muslim country," he added.
The Serdang police confirmed yesterday evening that objections from the public and Selangor lawmakers had resulted in the withdrawal of support for Thirst 2015.
In a statement, the police said that they originally had no problems with the application for the temporary entertainment permit for the concert by organisers Future Sound Asia Sdn Bhd on March 25.
“The MPSJ (Subang Jaya Municipal Council) had then rejected the application on April 6, although it was then approved with certain conditions imposed on April 22 after the organisers appealed to MPSJ.
“On April 24, PDRM (the Royal Malaysian Police) had concluded to not support (the concert) after receiving objections and feedback on April 23 from society, as well as the office of the state assemblymen about the concert,” the statement read.
But the authorities did not specify which state lawmaker had objected to the concert.
Konsert dibatal atas aspek keselamatan orang ramai - Polis
Pembatalan konsert 'Thirst: We All Stardust' pada saat akhir semalam dibuat setelah mengambil kira aspek keselamatan hasil maklumat risikan yang diterima polis.
Ketua Polis Daerah Serdang, Asisten Komisioner Razimi Ahmad dalam satu kenyataan berkata, ulasan itu diajukan kepada Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya (MPSJ) untuk membolehkan pihak berkuasa tempatan itu membuat keputusan.
"Merujuk kepada pelbagai reaksi yang diterima tentang pembatalan konsert terbabit semalam, Polis DiRaja Malaysia (PDRM) memutuskan tidak menyokong penganjuran pesta itu dengan mengambil kira aspek keselamatan orang ramai.
"Untuk rekod, Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah (IPD) Serdang telah menerima surat dari MPSJ untuk mendapatkan ulasan PDRM bagi mengesahkan pihak Future Sound Asia Sdn. Bhd. telah memohon lesen perniagaan (Permit Sementara Hiburan - Persembahan Pentas "Thirst 2015").
"Ulasan awal yang diberikan pada 25 Mac adalah tiada halangan," katanya.
Bagaimanapun jelas beliau, MPSJ telah pun menolak permohonan tersebut pada 6 April lalu namun diluluskan semula dengan syarat-syarat tertentu pada 22 April setelah pihak penganjur membuat rayuan kepada pihak berkuasa tempatan itu.
"Pada 24 April, PDRM telah membuat ulasan untuk 'Tidak menyokong' setelah menerima bantahan dan maklumat pada 23 April lalu daripada masyarakat serta Pejabat Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri berkenaan penganjuran konsert tersebut.
"Segala ulasan adalah mengambil kira faktor keselamatan masyarakat bagi mengelakkan keadaan yang tidak terkawal serta kejadian yang tidak diingini berulang," kata beliau.
