SHAH ALAM, Oct 20 — Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said no official application was made to use facilities for the Malaysia Selangor Entrepreneurs and Family Cooperative Carnival programme at Dataran Eco Grandeur, Puncak Alam today.

"Until the day of the programme, they did not come back with a written application,” he said on his Twitter account and added that a written application is important because details about the programme are needed as the facility involved has been gazetted as a candidate nomination venue.

Caretaker Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob when speaking at the opening of the programme today said he understood that the organisation of the one-day carnival was facing difficulties because the Selangor government did not agree to allow the use of the carnival site at Dataran Eco Grandeur.

Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development Minister Tan Sri Noh Omar when met by the media at the carnival programme claimed that the state government attempted to sabotage the programme but it was held on private land. — Bernama
