Yen Yen: No reason to ban event


NILAI: Although Tourism Malaysia has no role in promoting Oktoberfest, its chairman Tan Sri Dr Ng Yen Yen said it was unfair to ban the event in view of the large expatriate community in Malaysia, which included many Germans.

“We also have people coming from all over who wish to take part in the festival,” she said, adding that there had never been any issue about it before.
