Fahmi Fadzil says finding ways to help food vendors after cancellation of Good Vibes Festival

KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 — Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil tonight confirmed his ministry is looking for ways to help the food vendors who lost two days’ worth of business after the Good Vibes Festival 2023 was cancelled over a British band’s controversial stunt.

The tweet that Fahmi was responding to had contained affected food vendor myBurgerLab’s compilation of a list of other food vendors affected by the GVF cancellation. In a series of tweets earlier today at around 1.20pm, Fahmi announced his order for an immediate cancellation of the remainder of the three-day GVF that was initially scheduled to continue today and tomorrow, and said he had also directed the organiser to come up with a compensation mechanism for those who had already bought tickets for the now-cancelled event.

This afternoon, the Central Agency for Application for Filming and Performance by Foreign Artistes — which is an agency under the Communications and Digital Ministry — said it had filed a police report and has blacklisted the British band from performing in Malaysia.
