DBKL And A Very Curious Case Of Their 'Missing' Video
DBKL says they're rectifying the "programming" to bring back the video. Yes, the same video they themselves took down from their YouTube channel.
Some two days after DBKL released a minute-long video titled "Kuala Lumpur New Branding Identity" that, they claimed, explained how their new KL logo is basically an ode to KL's "Islamic roots" — it was taken down by the uploader, without any explanation!
It's another matter, though, that "nothing ever goes missing on the Internet" because the video has been re-uploaded by someone else. You can watch it here.
So why was the video taken down?
You may think that it was due to the negative things people said about the video or even the fact that a whopping 59% of SAYS readers, who took our poll to express their views, said that DBKL should not have come up with the video.
However, according to what DBKL marketing consultant Mazlan Shariff told The Malay Mail, that's not the case. In fact, it was "a technical error", he told the Malay Mail, and they're rectifying the "programming" with the hopes that "the video would be back up".
"No, there were no other reasons," he further added.
Meanwhile, when Mhd Amin Nordin Abd Aziz was asked about the video's abrupt removal, the KL Mayor, declining to explain, said:
"No comment from me."
