PETALING JAYA: The Jay Chou World Tour organisers booked the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil almost four years before the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) secured it for the Asean Football Federation (AFF) Cup, youth and sports minister Hannah Yeoh said today.

“Booking for the Jay Chou World Tour was made in March 2019, while FAM booked the stadium for AFF 2022 in August 2022,” she said in a tweet.

“The concert organisers need 14 days to set up the stage, which involves 500 crew members, of which 185 are international crew members, 45 heavy machinery, 200 speakers and 800 lights.

“They delayed it by two-and-a-half days to make way for AFF.”

The concert by the renowned Taiwanese singer will be held at the National Stadium on Jan 15.

Football fans had voiced their displeasure on social media over having fewer tickets available for the first leg of the semifinal match on Jan 7.

Earlier today, Yeoh said the ministry was looking into the 21,000 seats that had to be vacated due to the concert stage.

Malaysia will meet Thailand in a semifinal match on Saturday. All 59,000 tickets put up for online sale were snapped up in 24 hours.

After the first leg clash at Bukit Jalil, Harimau Malaya will leave for Thailand for the return leg at the Thammasat Stadium in Pathum Thani, in Bangkok, on Jan 10.

If Malaysia can overcome six-time winners Thailand, they will take on either Vietnam or Indonesia in the two-legged final on Jan 13 and 16.

Tengok kat tv la oi... Why go stadium and be hooligans.

Masa MSL x nampak pon.

Ya ya we got it. Jay Chou never salah.

BJ punya stadium nak BJ Dua party lel

kecian penduduk bukit jalil...ari biasa adi dem jammed

now ada any event sure high blood pressure

Pee to show dominance

and what is your problem? why is it salah jay chou? its like u open event space and rent it to someone else on a specified date, and then suddenly u tell that person eh sorry la that day u cannot use the space got someone else booked it few days ago, and its the person punya fault for booking the event space? , why not your fault for renting it out to the person then after that rent out to another person on the same date itself?

Malaysian football fan are terrorist

Why you tldr me? I said Jay chou never salah, correct right? Your plotek mode on? Topkek

A nation at ranking 145 making noise. Kek.

Btw jay chou pun lousy nowadays already la. Only stupid fans still support him like mad

correct or not .... i bet book only but after got the price, look at other place

Who report me?

Who report me?

Kena report pun stroberi
Bodo lel

just use some common sense la, ppl come to our country as guest do concert pay money to use the stadium giving income to the stadium, is this how u treat your guest? now want ppl to change concert date, then blame ppl for erecting huge structures in the stadium, ppl sudah rent the stadium for the specified date then ikut suka hati la dia nak buat apa as long as its within the agreement with the stadium management

u do like this, then next time who want to come our country do concerts or other events? no concerts and events then how the stadium sustain the maintenance? no maintenance then later the whole stadium become like shit then u will complain again why stadium no do maintenance, no money how to do maintenance?
