For football enthusiasts, they are looking forward to FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) in June 2014. FIFA announced on March 7, 2003 that the 2014 World Cup Finals will be held in Brazil. It is almost near but there have been reports saying the venue is not yet ready. In fact, FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke gave Brazil few weeks to show that the Curitiba stadium is ready for its undertaking.

The Secretary General showed worry and apprehension when he visited the Arena da Baixada on January 21, 2014. He mentioned that the stadium is late. He believes that the stadium will take part in the World Cup but he did not guarantee that it will be ready by June. The Secretary General gave the organizers until February 18, 2014 to prove that it can be completed before the World Cup.

 

The venue is about 90% completed. That is the good news but of course, FIFA wants it to be perfect in time for the World Cup Finals. The slow pace of construction is attributed to funding problems. There will be six venues for the World Cup (including the Itaquerao and Arena das Dunas stadium). Among the six, Arena da Baixada in Curitiba is the most delayed.

Arena da Baixada is expected to host 4 World Cup games. On June 16, 2014, the first match will be Iran vs. Nigeria. The stadium should be compelted by now. If the stadium cannot make it, it will surely raise serious concerns because many people have secured their tickets. Apart from that, there are football enthusiasts who already booked their flights and hotels to see the event. The move to another stadium or city will really affect the event.

The riot that happened on December 8, 2013 surprised the people. Little India riot damaged twenty five emergency cars and it sent thirty nine Home Team officers to the hospital. The government assured the public that measures are undertaken to prevent this from happening again. The public should now be appeased.

On January 20, 2014, the Parliament introduced the Public Order Bill. The bill will only last for one year and it will only cover Little India. One year will be enough for the Ministry to endorse long-term legislation. The legislation after one year will be based on the recommendations and findings made by COI (Committee of Inquiry) and public consultations.

The Public Order Bill will give enforcement officers power. Here are some powers of enforcement officers:

• Search and interview individuals: Enforcement officers have the power to search and interview people entering Little India. The search and the interview will only limit to prohibited items and alcohol. Other people will surely feel safe knowing this measure.

• Ban individuals: Enforcement officers have the power to ban an individual around the area. The banning will only cover a specific time. This is to reduce the threats of destroying public order. For banned individuals, they can still go to Little India but they should heed the officer’s restriction of time.

• Cancel or suspend licenses: Enforcement officers have the power to quickly cancel or suspend the licenses of business around the area. If the officers think that your business have ignored or evaded the law, they will cancel or suspend your license without thinking twice. Licensees should be serious about this or they might end up losing their license.
