Businessman's controversial music video referred to Jakim


KUALA LUMPUR: The music video for a Hari Raya song by a businessman which sparked displeasure among Malaysians, has been referred to the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) to be brought to the authorities.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Idris Ahmad said the video music, featuring a group of men dancing provocatively which was not in line with the eastern culture and Islamic teachings, was not suitable to be linked to the day of victory for Muslims after a month of fasting in Ramadan.
