Bad Media Comment For Tiesto-Freedom Rave
First and foremost, I know this is one of the oldest news ever that I want to talk about..
But since this is my blog and I want to record it down for my own reference, I’ll talk about it now..
Okay here goes..
Before the Freedom-08 Rave actually happened on 9th and 10th May 2008, The Star and some other medias have had great comments regarding the party at Port Dickson..
The Star came out with “Beach Blast for Clubbers” in Metro-pullout section..
As you can see the title says, it’s a beach party that’s aimed to clubbers as well as trance, techno, and disco lovers, to enjoy to the tune of one of the world’s finest DJ, DJ Tiesto..
And the comments I’ve heard from friends and read from blogs, the rave was awesome..Possibly the best rave ever in Malaysia shore, compared to UV Nation, Sunway Velocity, and Speedzone 2006, 2007 - 1 & 2, and 2008..
Yes, it’s THAT good, for real..It’s not that Tiesto was here for the first time..He was here back in somewhere 2005/2006 at Sepang in conjunction with the F1-post party..
But then, on Monday paper, dated 12th May, hell loads of bad reviews regarding this Freedom-08 rave..
Read, “Port Dickson Folks Irked By Youths’ Out of Control Behaviour at Rave Event“..
Well, don’t say that I ONLY shoot BN and not any other parties..I’m liberal okay..
Port Dickson assemblyman M.Ravi (PKR) made a visit to the event site and had a culture-shock looking at the situation that took place..
He said that thousands of teenagers, many were drunk, wearing skimpy outfits were misbehaving and involved in substance abuse..
Well for God’s sake, that’s Port Dickson (PD) wtf..I don’t think any sane people would wear jeans or long sleeves at PD..Even if it’s not PD, long sleeves are big no no coz it’s so damn hot at raves..
Well if you want to compared it to XLive which was held at Genting, I think it’s absolutely absurd and astounding..LOL..It’s all common sense..
PD = Beach = Swimwear / Skimpy outfits..
Genting = Cool Weather = Long Pants / Long Sleeves / Full clothing..
It’s said that many got drunk because beers were sold openly and many were still loitering the area at freaking 5am..
Again, in any kind of events like Freedom-08, the biggest sponsor or organizer would be either an alcoholic company, or a cigarette company..So it’s normal for them to sell their products there..
I’ve seen beers sold openly in other events..No bad comments bout it..
Other than beers, they would sell mineral water too, at freaking high price to reduce the consumption of mineral water because substance such as Ecstasy pills will only work with plain water..
Even if they don’t sell alcohol, people still bring their own thing to the event site, just like me and my clubbing kaki..It’s a norm okay..
Many were still loitering the area at 5am wtf..This is one of the most stupid comments I’ve ever heard..
Try to go to Jalan P. Ramlee, Chow Kit, Puduraya, Bukit Bintang, etc etc, lots of people would loiter those areas for freaking no reason at all at freaking 5am~!!!
Even I always lepak at mamak until 5am..Come check my IC lah duh..
PD is an open area, a public beach for tourist to visit..It’s no surprise if there are people there at 5am~!!!
Furthermore, some people might not staying overnight at PD..They traveled back to KL or Melaka or any places in whole of Malaysia..So it would be very jam if ALL of the people leave at the very moment the rave ended..
Also, if there’s any roadblock, whose fault is it if found to be consumed too much of alcohol?? Ours as well..Then there goes few hundred bucks for bribery fine..
Therefore I don’t think the idea of loitering there to fresh up the mind before leaving is bad at all..It’s actually the most conscious and smart way of handling things..
In addition to that, it’s said that many were too drunk and had to be carried to their cars..
Oh c’mon..Try to go to Jalan P. Ramlee, Sunway, Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI), Hartamas, Bangsar, etc etc..I bet there ARE MORE people being carried away from the clubs..
And talk about substance abuse..Just make a raid to Ruums KL, Thai Club, Beach Club, Maison, and even karaoke outlets Redbox and Neway, you’ll find loads of people trapped in wonderland for consuming pills..
No joke!! I’ve seen with my eyes where a bunch of Ah Bengs consumed some pills in the toilet in Redbox..
I’ve been to Redbox for ONLY 5 times in my whole life so far..And guess what I saw..Perhaps it’s my lucky day..
Now they want more stringent rules for events in PD wtf..And at the same time, the government IS promoting a debut rave party in Ipoh wtf..Contradicting, no?
And assemblyman M.Ravi urged the public to bring back a cleaner and serene Port Dickson, by reducing BEST improper events such as Freedom-08 to avoid any bad image that would brought to PD..
Oh well, if not because of Freedom-08, who would ever wanted to go to PD for its infamous dirty beach and all??? There are loads more nice places of nature to hang-out compared to PD..
Well, Freedom-08 IS not the first rave in Malaysia and it will NOT be the last neither..Do more homeworks assemblymen..
You know I went to swimming pool and all these ppl were wearing next to nothing, the HORROR!
2nd u yat!!!Some ppl needs to be more open minded…talk and give comments without thinking which era they are in…wake up la!!!
KY >> LOL best..i love condo’s swimming pools
J@son >> yeah..no news want to create news..
Haha i was there also, Sat nite. I saw Shalion Tiger and Pinkpau…
I think they need to be educated as what is the Rave event is… is a BEACH PARTY!!!!!
TIESTO ROX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope he will back again when he is doing his world tour.
well, consider that the non-open minded RACE/S love this piece of negative news to bits.
just another scapegoat, after another, after another…
youth culture, especially those western base are the best target to divert from other important issues like parenthood, education in school, role of LOCAL ASSEMBLYMEN!!!!!
always say things after happen, no real action before.
Hot news that day, forgotten the next…
C U GUYS AT THE NEXT EVENT!
why take pills at karaoke place?
get high over ahbeng songs?
hilarious bit of info man.
jehutyz >> wah..so huge crowd also you saw them..although i’m not there but tiesto memang best!!
CoolerFuzz >> yeap yeap..
well..hard liqour are OPENLY SOLD in karaoke outlets and i guess it goes well with the pills as well..
you know, take the pills in PUBLIC but in PRIVATE at the same time..LOL!
For the first time in my life after so many raves I’ve attended for the past 5 years, No skimpy clothes are allowed in the premise. I went to the Freedom website and checked over and over again about T&C on NO BIKINIS, nope, never stated. So full of crap. We have to buy shirts to get pass the bloody arse security and the moment we’re in, two malay girls were in their BIKINIS. WTF!!!
As for the substance abuse, it’s so full of crap. I was in the cabana and as I walked from one end to another to look for my friend, party-goers were snorting K right in front of the security and no one seems to bother about it.
The Media seems to exaggerate the entire situation as what I’ve perceived.
but i tot the security check was kinda tight on the 2nd night according to my frens who went too…I MISSED TIESTO! WAS AT BANGKOK! bit sad…
jessbabe >> so it seems that it’s the organizers fault huh..hehehe
Rachel >> yes i heard so too..no bikinis allowed..Bangkok also ok ma >.<
mari mari.. IC IC!! lu berapa UMUR!!!!
hahaahahaha went to redbox 5 times and u saw dat already… i went more than 5 times.. i never see such thing wan why ar..
joshuaongys >> LOL..that time i went to Sunway Redbox at 12midnight-6am..that’s on 2nd day of CNY last year..LOL
heh good article! eh why the story about ipoh rave got some picture of children one???
kimberlycun >> thank you..LOL..i would love to know that as well..
maybe they are trying to start it from young, “What rave is all about and let’s have fun!”
LOL!!

Tiesto Sucks,Techno Sucks,Electro Sucks,Trance Sucks, Long Live Heavy Metal and Shred Guitar, any Faggot cn jus mix n match songs, it doent take much to be a freakin Dj! It takes a true master to be able to play guitar skillfully, Yngwie Malmsteen can play 15 note in a second, wtf cn tiesto do? Shit in his bed coz he was to high to go to the bathroom. The only reason people enjoy trance and all that shit is coz they’re drunk or either high, listen to some real music u FAG
please, be more understanding… they made the event in the wrong location.
it was a very religious place and people should have respect for the place
but on the other hand, they should had told us in advanced..
Raver >> well that’s true..But if that place is so religious and all, the city council shouldn’t have granted the license/rights to hold a rave there..
you much be incredibly DUMB to actually LIST OUT clubs in Heritage for them to raid!
trish >> i see that you actually didn’t club much or just a frog in a well..except Maison, all of the clubs I’ve mentioned are actually in Jalan P.Ramlee..
now who’s the dumb one?
Malaysians really need to open up, or else we will always stay at the last spot. Of course these kind of festival will have at least some idiots in PD with nothing to do..oh there is something goin on here…wah expensive ticket..let’s go 7 eleven n get some booze n get high outside. there u spoil the whole image of the event. when u mention rave a lot of ppl will think it is linked to negative things. but think of the brighter side, there is really ppl there for music, outdoor party, n have fun away from kl… if nothing is to be held in PD. do u think all the hotels will be fully booked? with the crappy rooms, expensive rates n sucky service?
who wants to go PD for vacation? what is attractive? i can just get a cheap flight to bangkok n pay for the same amt n get great hotels. actually Freedom promoted PD. ya la maybe it is culture shock for some ppl la. that is why some ppl need to open up.read more, dun just stay in PD or other places, ride motorbike to beach everyday n pass life. improve yourself la. then heavy metal n rock culture is better than Dance music culture. with the long hair n coke…i dun think so. nothing is better, they just have their own uniqueness. so support rave party. peace out.
oh i forgot to mention. look at zoukout in singapore. that is a major dance event in asia. every year ppl from different countries go to that festival. bikinis, shorts…there is also idiots in those places too…but they r really firm on their security n definitely no drugs….n that is why we r third world mentality, first class facilities…ooops i mean 2nd class facilities la..
singapore everything first class.cheers.
dave >> good..well said..hope there’s no more stupid shit in this year’s Freedom..
u totally right about what u said about tiesto .. what is all said is a big bullshit and jst an exucusis to stop somthing .. teisto was the best rave ever i been to and they should let him come again ,, we would do what ever it takes to make him come bak and thrw another rave
