PETALING JAYA: Organisers of the performance video deemed insulting to the institution of the Malay Rulers, Malaysia and the Rukun Negara should issue a public apology, says Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Dr Zulkifli Hasan (pic).
He said the performance video constituted a breach of proper conduct and a social wrongdoing that undermined the bonds of harmony in Malaysia's multi-racial society.
Zulkifli said the authorities and relevant agencies must conduct a thorough investigation and take firm legal action without compromise against any party that insulted the foundations of the country, reported Bernama.
"Artistic platforms should uplift the soul and unite the people, not divide them. Stop exploiting moral values for cheap popularity, and focus on building the nation based on truth, propriety, and strong moral and religious values," he added.
Earlier, a video posted on Instagram went viral after it was found to contain elements that allegedly mocked the Rukun Negara.
