“It would have brought millions in tourist income and benefited hotels, transportation, food and beverage, retail, and more.”
(NST) – A non-profit group that supports and advocates industry players in the live arts, festivals, and events in the country says that protests from political groups are among the reasons why the famous British band Coldplay is playing only one show in the country compared to six in neighbouring Singapore.
In a posting on Facebook, the Arts, Live Festival, and Events Association (Alife Malaysia) said that protests from political groups have left a “sour note” with artists, organisers, and international concertgoers.
The organisation said that these protests have proven to have a direct impact on Malaysia’s international business environment and reputation.
“The six shows in Singapore are shows that could have been for Malaysia.
“It would have brought millions in tourist income and benefited hotels, transportation, food and beverage, retail, and more.”
