Malaysia's former Minister of Youth and Sports Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman said the country had “missed an economic lottery” as Coldplay managed to sell out six shows in Singapore.
The Malaysian United Democratic Alliance president said that the British rock band’s six-date tour has made a massive profit for Singapore, whereas Malaysia could only hold the concert on one date.
Mr Syed Saddiq claimed that Singapore will collect ticket sales of RM180 million for the six-day concert. “Estimating that a person spends RM500 for one day. A total of 1,000 tourists equals RM500,000 and six days equals RM3 million. This is a huge amount of money that can be generated. He stressed that Malaysia cannot continue to miss the economic opportunities that could be generated from organising concerts.
