Last Monday, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) said it had rejected the organisers' application to hold the craft beer festival. The police told the Cabinet that "security concern" was one of the reasons why the craft beer festival was cancelled. "As a responsible party and government, we cannot gamble with public security or put the public at risk," he said. Ti said that MCA is assured that DBKL's decision was based on security reasons and not political pressure. "There is no change on Barisan Nasional (BN) government's moderate policies but public safety and national security is of paramount consideration and must not be compromised," he said.
