SHAH ALAM – Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said no official application was made to use facilities for the Selangor Keluarga Malaysia Entrepreneurs and Cooperative Carnival at Dataran Eco Grandeur, Puncak Alam today.

Amirudin said he checked with the state agency following claims that the state government had obstructed the use of facilities for the programme organised by the Entrepreneur Development and Cooperative Ministry, and found that a phone call was only made last Friday, saying that 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,” he said on his Twitter account, adding that a written application was important to provide details on the programme as the facility involved has been gazetted as a candidate nomination venue.

Caretaker prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob when speaking at the opening of the programme today said he understood that the organisation of the one-day programme had faced difficulties because the Selangor government did not agree to allow the use of the carnival site.

Caretaker entrepreneur and cooperatives development minister Tan Sri 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. – Bernama, October 20, 2022
