MCR Fans Outraged By RM6k Resale Concert Tickets; Alleged Scalper Responds
After teasing fans with cryptic billboard advertisements around Kuala Lumpur, it has finally been confirmed that legendary rock band My Chemical Romance (MCR) will be performing in Malaysia in 2026. This marks the band's first return to the country since 2007, when they played to a crowd of 10,000 at Stadium Merdeka. Tickets went on sale last week and, as anticipated, fans faced frustration due to bots and scalpers during the online queue. Not only were many left disappointed after failing to secure their tickets, but they were also outraged after finding out that this person is reselling his concert tickets at an extremely high price. Here's the story: Earlier this week, a Facebook user named Jason posted online that he was reselling 6 Zone C MCR concert tickets for RM6,000. He explained that the decision to give away the tickets was due to a recent breakup. 'I bought them for my girlfriend and her friends, but life had other plans; we broke up. So here I am, letting go of the tickets, and maybe a little bit of the past too,' he wrote. The user acknowledged that the asking price might seem high, but added that it is negotiable. Although he may not have had any ill intentions, netizens were quick to accuse him of being a scalper, as they are often known for buying tickets in bulk and reselling them at inflated prices. Some criticised the man, saying he should have resold the tickets at their original price, while others pointed out that ticket reselling is illegal, and that his tickets could immediately be voided if he were found guilty of such an act by the organisers. Following the backlash, the man defended himself, insisting he was not a scalper and pointing out that he was not forcing anyone to buy the tickets, as he had already accepted his losses. However, he appeared to contradict himself by justifying the high ticket price and admitting that he hoped to make a small profit. Regardless of whether the man was telling the truth or not, it is always advisable to purchase tickets only through official ticketing platforms or authorised sellers. As for what can be done to counter scalpers, you can simply just ignore them until they go too broke to resume their illegal business. Malaysian Communications Minister, YB Datuk Ahmad Fahmi bin Mohamed Fadzil, also recently confirmed that an anti-scalping law is in motion, following the rising problem of concert ticket scalpers for international acts.

Work Begins On Pantai Sentral Park's 'Urban Park' – KL's First Urban Forest Development
IJM Land and Amona recently officiated the groundbreaking of the Urban Park at Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi, marking the first milestone in Pantai Sentral Park's mission to build a connected, sustainable, and community-focused township. The groundbreaking event is a defining moment in Pantai Sentral Park's new vision as Kuala Lumpur's first urban forest development. The groundbreaking ceremony was officiated by the Minister of Communications of Malaysia & Member of Parliament for Lembah Pantai, YB Datuk Ahmad Fahmi bin Mohamed Fadzil; accompanied by Executive Director (Planning) for Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), Datuk Zulkurnain Bin Hassan, CEO of IJM Land, Datuk Tony Ling, and Director & Group CEO of Amona Group, Datuk Che Hasnadi Che Hassan. Strategically located between Pantai Sentral Park and a 252-acre forest (comprising 163 acres of Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi, Kuala Lumpur and 89 acres of Bukit Gasing, Petaling Jaya), the Urban Park is designed as a vibrant community meeting point that connects city living with nature. It will serve Pantai Sentral Park residents and nearby neighbourhoods including Pantai Dalam, Bangsar South, Bangsar, Mid Valley, and Damansara — offering a much-needed green escape in the heart of the city. Open to the public, this 0.86-acre park will feature walking trails, communal gathering spaces, shaded areas, and will serve as the direct third access to the existing hiking routes within Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi. A key highlight is the 'Ribbon of Life' pathway, a newly-introduced feature in the revised masterplan that allows for easy walkable access across Pantai Sentral Park and provides a direct link to an upcoming MRT3 station. The park has been thoughtfully designed with biodiversity-friendly landscaping featuring trees and pollinator gardens, incorporating over 30 plant species. These efforts not only elevate the park's visual appeal but also support local ecosystems and encourage urban biodiversity. As part of Pantai Sentral Park's broader community vision, the Urban Park is also positioned to be a flexible space that can host wellness classes, family-friendly activities, and even educational programmes in partnership with local schools — transforming it into a dynamic space for recreation, learning, and community bonding. 'More than just the natural scenery and a green space, the Urban Park will be a meeting point for the community. With this ease of access, we hope to encourage more people to explore and embrace the natural beauty which exists right here within the city,' said Datuk Tony Ling, CEO of IJM Land. 'We believe that great communities are not merely built with bricks and roads, but with shared spaces that invite people to come together and have activities with each other, creating bonds that last,' he added. The Urban Park, which is part of Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi, is one of the company's proactive corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes through the Park Adoption Programme that echoes The Greener KL initiatives by DBKL in helping to enhance and maintain the green spaces in Klang Valley. This initiative supports national goals for sustainable, inclusive urban development and reflects Pantai Sentral Park's ESG commitment to building environmentally responsible, community-focused spaces. The Urban Park marks the beginning of a green-conscious vision for Pantai Sentral Park — a walkable, wellness-oriented township redefining modern city living in Kuala Lumpur.
