Bon Odori: PAS ulama wing backs Idris after royal decree

PAS' ulama wing has urged Muslims not to attend Bon Odori events in the country, a day after the Selangor ruler decreed that the state's Islamic authorities must not obstruct the event.

In a statement, wing leader Ahmad Yahaya said although some view Bon Odori as strictly a Japanese cultural event, it does not discount views that the event contains elements of "Buddhist" rituals.
