[KiniNews] Deputy National Unity Minister Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal has defended Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Idris Ahmad's call for a stop to Bon Odori and Oktoberfest celebrations in Malaysia.

The deputy minister said it was not wrong for a religious minister to express such things.

Wan Fayhsal was responding to a supplementary question in Dewan Rakyat from Lim Guan Eng, who asked for the National Unity Ministry's stance on Idris disturbing the practices of non-Muslims such as with Bon Odori and Oktoberfest.

Idris last week said Oktoberfest - a German beer festival - should not be allowed in Malaysia, saying that all should respect that the laws here were based on Islam as the religion of the Federation.
