Dataran out of bounds for rally, says mayor


Dataran Merdeka is not allowed to be used for the protest gathering against the goods and services tax (GST) scheduled for May 1.

"They (the organisers) can look for another venue, for example, Padang  Merbok, and not use Dataran Merdeka as it is still under repair," Kuala Lumpur mayor Ahmad Phesal Talib said after introducing the co-sponsors and the Kuala Lumpur Mayor's Tourism Awards 2014 (KLMTA) trophy in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

Ahmad Phesal was commenting on the plan by a coalition of non-governmental organisations and political parties to hold the protest gathering in conjunction with Workers Day, starting from KLCC and ending at Dataran Merdeka.

As for the trophy, Ahmad Phesal said it would be awarded to 32 organisations and individuals who had contributed to the tourism industry in the areas of innovation and offering quality products and services of international standard.

The standards achieved for the conferment of the award will be the benchmark and put into practice in developing the federal capital's tourism industry.
