KUALA LUMPUR, June 7 — PAS has shown its ignorance and lack of understanding on cultural diversity in Malaysia, Shah Alam councillor Muhammad Shakir Amir said today after a federal minister advised Muslims against joining in the upcoming Japanese Bon Odori festival in the Selangor capital next week.
"Bon Odori has been celebrated for more than 30 years in Malaysia. Throughout the years it has been commercialised and celebrated via commercial or community centres to cater to non-Japanese as well. In Malaysia we have many manga and anime fans as well through the Japanese influence. "We have a sizeable number of Japanese expatriates living here. We even have a Japanese school to cater to the Japanese community. It is only natural that they will celebrate their cultural celebration through their community clubs or associations,” Shakir said in a statement today.
