KUALA LUMPUR: The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) hit out at irresponsible revellers who littered Jalan Sultan Ismail during the Christmas Eve celebration on Wednesday.
DBKL director-general Datuk Salleh Yusup said although the public had “a right to party” they should not go overboard and dirty the place.
“We had a tough time clearing the mess left behind by these irresponsible revellers. They obviously do not bother about cleanliness and left the mess for others to clean up.”
He said that the event was an impromptu celebration. Thousands of people had flocked to the Bukit Bintang area on Christmas Eve, causing the usually clean area to be littered with aerosal cans used in the revelry.
Even vehicles passing by Jalan Sultan Ismail were not spared and were sprayed by the revellers.
The celebration, which began at 9pm, turned into a big carnival and only ended after 3am.
