PETALING JAYA: Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung says the unity government should protect the unique multicultural backgrounds that have made Malaysia what it is today.

Expressing disappointment over the government's decision to cancel a performance by Singaporean comedian Sharul Channa, Lee said the move was contrary to the government's aim to boost the economy and establish the Klang Valley and Malaysia as an arts and entertainment hub.
