With the trend of having rally and protest scaling up in Malaysia, it seems more of a festive rather than anything else. With so many bandwagons and upcoming events like this, why not the government come with solution that will be a win-win situation for both the government and opposition.
Here how it should be. First, the government should allow such rally occur often. It helps the economic. Everyone going to the rally is like going to watch any concert or attending a big sport competition (imagine the Euro Cup which ended recently). Much more bigger than Jom Heboh! from TV3.
For start, the government can work out few packages for these events. These packages come in few prices.
Package A of RM888,888
1. Use of National Stadium Bukit Jalil or Dataran Merdeka
2. 2 Big Helium Balloon provided with spotlight shooting the sky at night
3. International press coverage – (CNN, CNBC, Reuters and Bloomberg allowed)
4. 2000 Booth lot provided for one day leasing (can sell drinks, food, anything)
5. Free Permit Application (subject to approval)
6. High level of security provided (FRU 2 bijik, 24 hrs routine road block)
7. Free Wi-Fi (for bloggers to blog)
8. Public transport to operate till 12 midnight (so everyone can use LRT/STAR to go back since petrol price increased)
9. One local artiste of your choice
or for those with tight budget
Package A of RM8,888
1. Use of any open space available
2. 2 Big DBKL trucks to load protesters.
3. Local press coverage – (No international press allowed)
4. Illegal booth shall be setup mobile due to no operating license given
5. Free Permit Application (confirm get rejected)
