Tan Tai Kim told the media waiting outside RoS that the officials requested that the congress scheduled for December 28 be cancelled.

“It was just a routine questioning. They want to know the event’s venue, purpose and other details. No special warning has been issued and we are reminded to comply with the rules and regulations.”
