: The Hungry Ghost Festival organisers in Kemaman, Terengganu have erected banners explicitly barring Muslims from entering the event venue.
The decision to display the banners stems from conditions set by the Kemaman municipal council, a China Press report indicated. “To be honest, the conditions have always been the same for the past 12 years. It’s just that this year, they told me it’s best to put up banners,“ he stated. The Hungry Ghost Festival, a traditional Chinese celebration, is observed on the 15th night of the seventh lunar month, which this year falls on August 18.This development follows recent controversies in Terengganu concerning religious events.
