Community Event

I attended the preparatory meeting for Christmas Day celebration last week. The meeting is to discuss the activities in celebrating this year's Christmas Day. We agreed to organise a concert featuring popular artists and choir groups in the Auditorium, Civic Hall of MBPJ. Everybody anticipates a big turnout as the Ester Concert held in last April attracted many audiences. Some of us tried to figure out of how to control the crowd. There are suggestions of getting a bigger place, installing audio-visual at the car park of Banquet Hall next door or even restricting the crowd by having a by-invitation only concert. We are still trying to figure out on what to do next if the feedback on attending is overwhelming.

Some members have reservation about organising a concert exclusively for invited guests only. As a local authority for all, MBPJ initiated program should have opened to every stakeholders. Stakeholders are encouraged to participate and integrate with all segments of society, after all organising an open event celebrating a festive season is embedded in the culture of this multi-ethnic nation, and of course for MBPJ, spirit of Local Agenda 21 counts. I tend to agree with that.
