Fireworks Putra Jaya


What an absolute nightmare!!!! This was without doubt one of the worst organised events I have ever been to.

1. Very far away

2. Traffic-> Police and event organisers did not know where to send us and directed us all over the place, into huge jams & onto 1 way streets going the wrong way!!! Now the real pain, was the 3 hrs it took us to get home because of the jams and the stupid malaysians that parked their cars in the middle of the highway and just left em there..... crazy!!!

3. Ticketing & Entry -> My dear friends Jasmin & Shannon were not allowed in because they had no tickets, but the tickets were with me and there was no need to have tickets to enter anyway, since there was ticket collection at the counter!!!! 2 hrs in a bloody traffic jam and they did not even get in!!! Sorry dears, bad idea on my part. Shannon, hope your mum wasn't too disappointed.

4. Phone reception -> Impossible to get network so I was not able to co-ordinate the tickets/ meeting places.

5. No food or drinks allowed-> There went our picnic idea!!!

6. Rain -> Well, this wasn't the organisers fault. We will check with God on that!

7. Price -> Tickets were priced at an atrocious 38.50MYR (child or adult!!). This was so you could go into the convention center, but what for? We saw the same thing as the 100,000 malaysians that saw it for free on the streets outside!!

8. Fireworks -> Very very weak......... saw much better elsewhere. The Malaysian finale was the WORST EVER!!! I was so embarrased for em.

9. Customer Service -> or the complete lack of if!!! Manager of the ticketing desk from Ticketpro Malaysia, Joanne Ong, just refused to get off her ass to do anything. Was really exasperating. I think she realised how bad she was cos she was so reluctant to give me her name........... shy??? embarrased??


CONCLUSION : Don't bother going.

ADVICE : If you have complains about the event, try contacting Alan Johnson from Global 2000 Sdn Bhd. They are the organisers. I will definitely be calling later today!! Tel 012-668 2571
