KUALA LUMPUR, June 9 — Selangor Ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj today issued a statement to rebuke Religious Affairs Minister Datuk Idris Ahmad, suggesting that he was ignorant to warn Muslims against attending the Japanese cultural celebration Bon Odori next month.
“His Highness urges them not to whimsically label something negative without first conducting thorough research. They must be fair when making any public statement that involves social harmony,” the statement added. “His Highness does not want the minister to use the Jakim platform to issue misleading and inaccurate statements that could jeopardise Jakim’s image and reputation,” the Palace said.
“The Sultan asserted that the Bon Odori celebration was more a cultural event that showcased the traditions of the Japanese people,” it said.
