Sarawak churches turn down invite to Christmas carol programme over song change snub


KUCHING: The Association of Churches in Sarawak (ACS) has turned down an invitation to participate in a Christmas carol programme by state-owned television station TVS after it declined ACS' request to include the song to "O Holy Night".

In a letter to the state's Unit for Other Religions (Unifor) dated Nov 13, ACS chairman Datuk Danald Jute said the association could not participate in "A Christmas Carol, Sarawak in Diversity" scheduled to be held at Padang Merdeka here on Dec 3 as TVS was unable to meet its request to replace "Jingle Bell Rock" with the Christmas carol.
