Urine tests face backlash

Not feasible: Industry players say the urine screening is ineffective and time-consuming, adding it would only burden concert orga­nisers and attendees. — NG KOK LEONG/The Star

The executive producer of Shiraz Projects, Shirazdeen Abdul Karim, said the suggestion is unrealistic, as it would be impossible to screen thousands of people without taking too much time.
