PETALING JAYA: The management of Stadium Merdeka has rejected Bersih 2.0's application to use its facilities for the proposed rally on July 9.
"The booking officer for Stadium Merdeka said bookings could not be made because of an internal management sports event and renovations being done in the stadium," said the Bersih 2.0 steering committee in a statement Wednesday.
Bersih expressed disappointment at not being allowed to booked the stadium and insisted that Stadium Merdeka was an ideal location for the rally.
"Bersih is strongly of the view that as part of the agreement to hold the rally in the stadium, a proper venue that reflects the scale and centrality of this issue to Malaysians throughout the nation must be selected.
"We have decided that Stadium Merdeka is the only location that appropriately meets this criteria, and the Prime Minister must as a matter of honour make good on his offer to let us use an appropriate stadium immediately," said Bersih
