‘It was about The 1975, not politics’


PETALING JAYA: It was not about politics but an explanation of the controversy surrounding British pop rock band The 1975 when he spoke in a mosque in Rawang, says Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil (pic).

“There was nothing political at all (about the talk),” he said in refuting claims that he had made a political speech in a mosque, adding that he was prepared to cooperate in any investigation into the incident.
