No official application made to organise carnival - S’gor MB

Selangor Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari said no official application was made to use facilities for the Malaysia Selangor Entrepreneurs and Family Cooperative Carnival programme at Dataran Eco Grandeur in Puncak Alam yesterday.

Amirudin said he checked with the state agency following claims that the state government was obstructing the use of facilities for the carnival programme organised by the Entrepreneur and Cooperative Development Ministry.

He found that only a phone call was made last Friday, and the ministry was reminded to put in an official application.

"Until the day of the programme, they did not come back with a written application," Amirudin (above) tweeted, adding that a written application is important because details about the programme are needed as the facility involved has been gazetted as a candidate nomination venue.

Caretaker Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob when speaking at the opening of the programme yesterday said he understood that the organisation of the one-day carnival was facing difficulties because the Selangor government did not agree to allow the use of the carnival site at Dataran Eco Grandeur.

Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development Minister Noh Omar, when met by the media at the carnival, claimed that the state government attempted to sabotage the programme but it was held on private land.
