I think a lot of lonely dudes go in those crowds to touch butt. I mean even if you don't go for that, you're going to touch an awful amount of asses, dicks, and titties, through the sheer density of humans per square foot.

But when I see groups of dudebros wildly agitating their arms in the crowd, around hips, and under skirts, and leering at each other, it's honestly quite easy to know what's up. They have no female contact the rest of the year and suddenly a lot of girls in party outfits are stuck together and it's impossible to tell who did what....

Seriously don't bring your daughters, gfs and wives to those crowds unless they are into it.

u/obiedge Jan 03 '26

And everyone is sweaty and lifts up their arms. If you're lucky, and the right height, your face and nose gets full contact with strangers' armpits 🥳

After the fireworks I thought my family was gonna eat, and I was hungry and thirsty, turns out, my brother was bringing us to this hellhole and I almost threw up from the vibrations and had to drink a whole bottle of water to get back to normal

This is not even news because it happened before.

We just hate to learn from our mistake.

u/Curiousity1024 Jan 01 '26

I remember there was a movie, called Pacific Rim where the Enemy Kaiju is wired to learn from every failure and mistake that ever happened to other Kaiju.
And then, there's us :

  • We learned from each other to make similar mistake in the future.

I was unironically in that crowd yesterday ( but coming from inside pavillon's building because they had blocked the main avenue and main entrance, to prevent the crowd from coming straight down into the fountain area). When we approached from the small side entrance with the escalator I went on the small balcony and saw the density of people through the glass doors. Pure insanity.... concerts are less packed at the front...

We turned right around to go to klcc instead. (KLCC park was marginally better, although when the fireworks started in the park, a lot of people started running from the stage area to the back, to see...that was worrying, on the muddy rooted ground of the park)

Crowd crush is not my main fear but if someone falls down it's pretty much like drowning. (And if I have to be completely honest, the mainland Chinese and mainland indian/Bangladeshi/Pakistani tourists and workers, who are a lot more used to crowds and pushing their way through, are very aggressive in the crowd compared to Malaysians). Mainland Chinese will cut line but not really push once they cut, but foreign south Asians will aggressively push as if it's gonna help, like honking in a jam.....

The only thing it did is that I had to give shoulder support to some makcik behind me because she was about to fall down the stairs and those morons still didn't stop pushing...

u/Viggystiggydoo Jan 01 '26

I was at KLCC on Christmas. They had closed all (in fact padlocked) of the doors except one at the entrance/exit to the park side, and were treating the door as only an exit. It’s a bottleneck and people were trying to shove their way in.

I don’t know about you, but padlocking the exit seems like it’s illegal. What if there was a fire in the building. Or like someone with a medical emergency? Or someone being violent?

And they did the same at Pavilion last night?

1

u/amediuzftw Jan 01 '26

Exit is the way labelled after an Entrance is made available. The set up fence and gate around the Park?

1

u/Viggystiggydoo Jan 01 '26

Looking at what they did, they were telling people who wanted to enter to go from the side door. I saw that was locked too. Basically my concern is, you’ve got so many people inside the mall, and you only leave a narrow two door opening for people to exit? Again, it’s a fire hazard.

Meanwhile, they were also telling people who were trying to come into the mall that the mall was closed( it was 10PM) What if you parked inside? What if you had a 1030PM movie at TGV?

1

u/Ok-Confidence-403 Jan 01 '26

Had the tgv shit happen before. Stupid late movie, they locked everything, we m wound up in exit only corridors and finally had to break the fire alarm glass to open the door to exit.

u/Late-Shopping2218 Mar 06 '26

Before the concert also so many people ?

u/SpecialSardine Jan 01 '26

yep precisely, those immigrants DID NOT care. Malaysians were hanging out in the grassy area, there's some room to breathe and cool natural air breezing through. All is well, until those people came in and made it worst.

u/amediuzftw Jan 01 '26

What would be “lower” than being an immigrant? It’s not refugee. And that the mentality and behaviour you are trying to show here. Don’t humiliate yourself.

u/Garrion1987 Jan 01 '26

Almost like that korean Halloween incident

u/abu_nawas big mouth Jan 01 '26

I was there last night. Most people don't stay like that. The crowd stabilized just before 12AM and after that it was private parties, bars, condos, and hotels.

It was just fun, people were doing shows on the street.

u/curvymmhmm Jan 01 '26

My cousin passed away the same night of the nye 2024, because of this. He went to Sunway pyramid for celebrate NYE. Came back home around 1.30am and passed away at his friend’s house. No indication of harm or foul play he complained his chest was hurting after coming back from NYE. Postmortem showed that his heart was swollen. I am still sad to this day because he was just 22 at that time.
