EDIT: Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that somebody is going to give me hell for using the word blasphemy in a non-religious God related situation..?
This is shocking (well..kind of..)
“Thousands of teenagers, many drunk and wearing skimpy clothing were misbehaving and some were even involved in substance abuse,” - Irritated PD resident
"..techno music was blasting in the air despite it being wee hours in the morning. Most of them looked sedated and were mumbling and I could tell that they were not in full grasp of their senses.." - Another irritated PD resident

What blasphemy! The above statements were taken from an article published in The Star newspapers dated 12th May 2008. Talk about letting a few bad apples ruin the entire basket. Yes, no doubt that there were people getting stupidly drunk, popping pills, taking drugs, wearing skimpy clothes and whatnot, but is that really so surprising at all?
The article mainly pokes at the teenagers which were caught taking illegal drugs and the overly loud music. What irks me is that the article totally labels the event as a bad one on the basis that a handful of teens were taking illegal drugs.
Wake up people, we do not need events such as this for people to start taking drugs. Even if they do not take it AT the event grounds, they'd just pop the pills before entering the venue. So what difference does it make? There are also a handful of druggies, rapists, murderers & etc just around the corner everyday in Kuala Lumpur. Does that make KL a bad city?
That article in The Star was totally biased and unfair IMO.
Shame on you.
