Four Dead After Attending New Year’s Eve Concert in Malaysia”The New Year’s Eve celebrations at the Pinkfish 2024 Countdown concert in Malaysia took a tragic turn when four attendees were found dead shortly after the event. The deaths were reported by a hospital in Kuala Lumpur, with the victims ranging in age from their 20s to 40s. The concert, which took place at Sunway Lagoon’s Surf Beach in Selangor, featured live performances by both local and international artists. Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan confirmed that all four victims had attended the event, and the cases have been classified as sudden deaths. An initial autopsy revealed no external injuries on the deceased, but the exact cause of death is still under investigation, pending laboratory results. The police have opened an inquiry to explore whether foul play or toxic substances could be involved. A statement released on the police’s Facebook page on January 1st urged anyone with information to come forward. A TikTok video, which showed a person being wheeled away on a gurney, has raised concerns, with some speculating that the individual may have overdosed, although it is unclear if the video is connected to the deaths. In response to the incident, the Pinkfish event organisers released a statement on January 2nd, offering their condolences to the families of the deceased. They clarified that the deaths occurred outside the concert venue, with Malaysian authorities confirming this. The organisers also highlighted the safety measures in place at the event, including over 100 police officers, trained security personnel, and police dog units stationed at entry points. Pinkfish, an annual outdoor music and arts festival, is known for promoting creativity and community. The concert on December 31st was one of several events held to mark the new year in Malaysia.”

The Registry of Marriages (ROM) and Registry of Muslim Marriages (ROMM) will temporarily operate from the Esplanade Mall starting 14 April 2025. This relocation is due to the redevelopment of their current site at Canning Rise, which will undergo construction from 2025 to 2028.

Transition Timeline
The last day of operations at Canning Rise will be Friday, 11 April 2025, as announced by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) and the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY). During the transition weekend (12-13 April 2025), in-person appointments and solemnisations at Canning Rise will be unavailable. However, external and video-linked solemnisations will proceed as scheduled.

From Monday, 14 April 2025, services will resume on level three of the Esplanade Mall, utilising part of the former library@esplanade space. Couples with appointments from this date onward will be automatically shifted to the new location and notified accordingly.

Historical Context and Future Plans
ROM and ROMM have operated at Canning Rise since August 1983. The redevelopment aims to transform the site into an enhanced venue for couples, featuring modern solemnisation spaces, green areas, and picturesque photo spots. Key upgrades include a rooftop solemnisation area, energy-efficient systems, and sustainable construction materials.

Details on the revamped Canning Rise facility will be shared closer to its reopening in 2028, with promises of a memorable experience for marrying couples.
