Mudland ministers are hypocrites. What a disgrace to Malays.
KLPAC has been embroiled in an on-controversy with Malaysian government officials over an application to host a Singapore ballet troupe this weekend.
A Cabinet minister had denied yesterday that the Singapore ballet group had been barred, while blaming organisers for failing to apply for a permit on time.
The row has embarrassed officials and sparked concerns about their increasingly conservative attitude to the point of taking offence with the tutus worn by ballet dancers.
Organisers were eventually forced to cancel the “Ballet Illuminations” performance.
Culture Minister Datuk Seri Rais Yatim has insisted that the government did not reject the application, saying that he “loves all forms of the arts and theatre” including ballet, and urged organisers to proceed with the performance.
