Why not take a look at Bon Odori yourself, Selangor sultan tells Idris

KUALA LUMPUR – Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has suggested that religious affairs minister Datuk Idris Ahmad attend the Bon Odori festival to see for himself the difference between culture and religion.

The sultan added that he does not want the minister to use the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) to issue confusing and inaccurate statements that will undermine the department’s image and reputation.

This is his second statement in two days amid the brouhaha over Muslims not being encouraged to attend the annual Japanese festival. – The Vibes, June 9, 2022
