The dress rehearsal of Inner Thoughts, a poetry and music performance at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPac), quickly turned into a sombre affair yesterday evening when its director Joe Hasham broke the news about the implementation of a new movement control order (MCO) in KL from May 7-20.

It left everyone devastated and some even in tears. All that Hasham and Datuk Faridah Merican, co-founders of KLPac, could do was just sit in silence, lost for words.
