Abusing Hong Lim Park

Tan Kin Lian's gathering at Hong Lim was affected by an Indian Cultural Event staged at the same venue. And the attendance to Kin Lian's talk was dwindled to 200. Surprisingly many still chose to turn up despite a call to cancel the talk. Why should a cultural events be staged at Hong Lim when approval for such events should come quite easily anywhere? Hong Lim as it is reputed for, is for the airing of social political issues that cannot be done anywhere else. Community and cultural activities organisers should bear this in mind and hold their events at other more appropriate venues.
