Groups not privy to final decision


PETALING JAYA: Chinese groups, which attended a meeting with the government to draft rules for the coming Lunar New Year celebrations, say they were not told of the eventual decision.

These associations claimed that they were caught off guard with the standard operating procedure that was announced on Thursday by Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

To clear the air, Malaysian Han Cultural Association president Datuk Goh Hin San, who was present at both meetings with the National Unity Ministry on Jan 12 and 18, said the ministry had taken note of their proposals which would be relayed to the National Security Council (NSC).
